17 miles to work, 3.5 hours drive in the snow and sea of vehicles.
helped white van man as he was blocking the route for me and a billion other cars and towed a lorry (will not pretend i know how heavy it was, (tesco size)) to safety. All in my shirt and tie 
Before I engauged in my heroic duty with the lorry, i remembered a youtube clip of a 90 at Eastnor pulling a lorry, that gave me confidence to give it a go! Paid off..... However made me think how inexperienced I am at such tasks, especially as I have a winch and no proper training of it and the block and tackle I own. I am now of the mind set I need to have such training, I thought there was a tread on here once with someone offering training, any suggestions |

Fitted the Nakatanenga under cubby safe, now I keep cracking my elbow on the cubby box every time I change gear.

Just drove to Rotherham Hospital to take the Mrs for day surgery, only for it to be cancelled
Its bloody deep stuff, no fun at the moment as there's cars trying to get through it every where and struggling! Time for the sledge!

Did my good deed last night and went out of my way to take 3 people home.
I don't have many picks of snow on the landy. The police are starting to issue £60 fines & 3 points if you don't clear your car properly up here!!!! It is about 4-5 foot I'm places up here  Russell

Drove from Sheffield to Rotherham to get to work today, had the best drive of the year. The roads were quiet except for expensive Range Rovers and 4x4s with road tyres. Overtook the lot of them They were obviously frightened of damaging their nice expensive shiny vehicles 
As the roads were quiet, there were loads of folk walking in the road, trying to get to work. Had to continuoously keep swerving left and right to make sure I hit them. It was like a scene from 28 days later! |

Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Here is how I fixed it in place: 1. Took out original cubby boxes 4x machine screws and removed cubby box. 2. There are two timber angled lengths affixed to the bottom of the cubby box held on with 3x staples and glue. I carefully removed them just in case and tapped the staples legs flat. 3. Took the safe out to car and test fitted it. First problem is that only two of the fixing points on the car are available, the rear two as the front two fixing points are under the power sockets which is fresh air. 4. Placed cubby box on top of safe and found the holes were close enough. Used M4 machine screws and washers and lined the two up. I then tightened the front two bolts tight enough as not to distort the metal top plate on the safe to let the key lock mark the bottom of the cuddy. 5. After undoing the bolts and lifting of cubby saw that the bottom was marked for drilling the access hole for the lock. Used a forstner bit and drileed the hole. matched up the safe and cubby box and found everything lined up...TF. 6. Took the now complete assembly out to car and sat it between the seats. Found the top of the cubby box was not level and when you use only the rear fixing points the front lifts up and vibrates. 7. Took the complete cubby box out and placed the original timber angled lengths( see note 2..... TF) back onto the floor and used the front two fixing bolts to fix them in place. Tightened them right up so the head was buried into the timber. 8. Placed the completed cubby box back into place and fixed the rear bolts. Then used two self tappers into the timber rails at the front fixing point. Whole unit now solid and level. Once the weather clears up and I can get into the garage I will make a couple lengths of steel with the angle set and weld on a nut to allow me to use the 4 fixing points on the safe with bolts.
