So, are we all ready for the snow?

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

So, are we all ready for the snow?

Post by rgonzobull » Sat Feb 04, 2012 10:49 am

Hi everyone. Are you all ready to get out and play in the snow? I live in a little village that gets snowed in and end up shuttling the villagers to and from shops in my 4x4's. Thought I'm only going to get the LJ out to put people off asking me favours so I can play ha ha
What are your plans for the snow?

If we get enough I will get my snowboard out.

If not I will sit inside and fell sorry for myself as the trucks not ready.

Wonder how long till it hits wiltshire then. I was just summoning up the courage to go out and do a bit of work on the truck.

I need to get my truck up out of the back drive, because if it snows on the ramp I'll not get up without hitting the walls either side. The ramp's unfinished, so it has a 1 foot step up on one side. My SJ's the only car we have that can get up and down it, because the Land Rovers won't fit and the Vectra and Focus don't have the ground clearance for the step.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
