My office is a few steps from the back door, so I'll be in - but we never seem to get much around here, we'll see what happens.

Whats the going rate for a tow out of the hedge nowadays? probably a court case knowing how things are going in this country.

A fair bit in Suffolk, we're expecting more tomorrow so the weather guess-cast says.

-8c this morning, and the old bu**er 90 refused to start, even with new Glow plugs.

Sounds about right to me. Rolling Eyes I tend not to go out in it when it's like it. Yes, the Defender is fine in such weather but there's too many idiots about sliding around and the back roads are awful. They drive far to fast slam on the brakes and next thing you know it's bumper cars... Only difference is it's them that get's smashed not the Defender. $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Get the boss to swap your tyres to winter ones and The BMW will be fine I use my Vito or 330d Touring in this sort of weather as the Defender is to easy and driving past a Bimmer up a hill in another Bimmer is priceless Thumbs Up

None here yet but Censored cold in the S2A this morning, only thing running at present.

Had to put gloves on after getting inside.

Heated windscreens really are the dog's danglies though, aren't they? Or at least they are for us soft southerners. 1970 Series 2A 88"
