Yup. Parked right at the farthest possible end of a Tesco car park years ago, came out 15 mins later to find a cr4ppy old Transit parked next to me! :mad:
Yip! Usually a 15 year old VW Sharan with 6 child seats and dings in every panel...

What snow? :(
The white stuff falling from the sky...

I’m out now so will see if it continues. Could be a fun run back. Had to take a detour here because of an accident that had blocked the road (police in attendance so I wasn’t just clearing off and not helping)

I'd have thought you'd take the Defender if it's snowing

That wouldn’t be any fun now would it...

Having said that the winter tyres on my SLK means that’s no fun either :(



(Well not unless I really press the loud pedal...)

I think it's more fun in a Defender. You can laugh at all the 2WD cars skittering all over the place....

Had a look underneath to check on the condition of the subframe then gave it a quick wash to remove all the salt from my evening drive.

Give us a wave as you pass J16 of the M6, Wighty!

Suck some new whiter side light bulbs in the W211. Was hoping to get the colour somewhere near to match the xenons. Better, but no cigar.

Also, Bought an OEM grill for the W211, from Rob Parker.:D
