I planned for the MOT stuff in the summer months, my tyres only have about 23mm left and will do great in shallow snow but could get interesting in anything over a couple of feet deep :lol: thats mud tyres for your dig dig dig lol.

Hailstones in Littlebourne today :shock: not sure waht to do to prepare, make sure the antifreeze is ok ,carry a rope(which I do anyway) to pull others out. We did get snow here last year and I could get to work using all the lanes while the main routes were blocked with cars.

Whats snow?

Hopefully 255/75/15R Goodyear Wrangler AT/R's will handle what ever weather we get here.
This posting may have been helpfull, on the other hand probably not... Either way, I may have had drink when posting it in which case it's probably not as helpfull as it could have been

Work safe, and remember all technical problems can be resolved with a hammer, the trick is knowing where to hit it and how big a hammer to use (I often find it may also help to have a spare bit in the shed to replace the bit you have just mullered ;) )

Work in Progress (or not as the case may be) I give you.... 'O-no' the truck.

Comments on 'O-no' the truck may be left here
