I think the worst reason for owning a 4X4 is, youre expected to make it into work. :evil:

I am now sat here until 5.30 with the customers cancelling and nothing to do. Everyone else that is in only live round the corner and walked in. No sales team or management.

So I cant even use the excuse, I cant get out of my road.

Re: Snow Watch by th4neuk on Thu Dec 02, 2010 11:09 pm
Crikey we have had another 2 to 3 inches this afternoon/this evening!!

Reckon we are around 12 to 18 inches and a bit more where it's drifted!!

So far the truck isn't having problems but it's getting worse getting about though. The worst bit is it's quite bumpy now as the snow is cutting up then freezing then getting more snow and freezing so quite rutted.

Good fun though lol

Cheers

I awoke this morning to a news report that temperatures were down to a rather chilly -18 degrees. Brrrrrrrr. I even had ice INSIDE my car. As usual though, the old girl did good. Just wish she was a bit warmer on the inside. Ah well....can't achieve perfection I suppose. :)
