SNOW

PostPost by: jimj » Thu Dec 02, 2010 5:21 pm

My wife`s Golf is four wheel drive but we`ve not been anywhere, the snowdrifts in our drive are nearly up to her waist and she`s worried about getting snow in her fan.

Ha Ha. I used to drive my Elan in Stockbridge, Mass and wound up in snowdrifts a few times. The nice thing about the Elan is that it's really easy to push it out of a snowdrift.

I had a frozen big end once, but it was my own fault for not applying the right oil for the occasion.

Gordon,
The climate might be good, but the cricket is definitely suffering! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/9246614.stm

Kindest regards

Cricket you say... that's as boring as watching grass grow!

Great picture of a super car!

Well done Christian...

Isn't (a) Cricket some kind of insect? Only kidding. This from someone who (also) hates football with a vengeance... :shock:
