am so gutted my series 3 is in bits,

 still been out in my dads 90 to rescue a mate in the middle of nowhere and its loves the snow.
 
 My Subaru sti is doing the job though but were at nearly 3 feet up in shieldhill now and its back on. Getting too deep for scoob. Really wish i got my finger out now and built the 88 up. (Bloody wedding then a honeymoon, was 28 degC when i left mexico thurs night lol)

Am sure you regret Mexico and wished you had stayed at home and got dirty with the s111 look at fun you would have now,snowing here again

Had a good one tonight. Was on my way out of carrington midlothian when i found a wee vauxhall corsa sitting wheelspinning like mad trying to get up the hill. Nice exaust on it hehhe. So i thought i aint gona just drive past the poor sod. Offered a toe up into Carrington itself so atleast his cars off a bad corner made worse by the snow. Unfortunbatly these days the car designers seem to be utter nob cosk and made it so his corsa had it a wait plug in toe eye. and yes he had lost the toe eye. I did think wack a rope under and hook to swingarm etc but the front bumpers are so low on these cars and his was standrd i would ahve ripped it straight aff. cant exactly carefully push it up the hill either. He was ok his mum came oout about 5 mins later with snow shovel and garden shovel in hand she has experiece thats for sure. Shame could not help the lad so i went to the shops got beer as i aint cutting no damn hedges tomorow. Seen loads of defenders on my usuall road. Its fun.

na not really lying in ma beech hut being brought drinks and not spending a dime was sweet.........but then again wish i had the 88 on the road.

 Im tempted to go buy a 90 since it will prob take me till next winter to get the 88 ready. (Wonders if a cat d series 111 in bits was a good idea lol)

Had a good run yesterday to Aberfoyle then up over the Dukes Pass to Loch Katrine.
Went in to the forest drive to give the dogs a run & the snow was up leval with the doors.

Cracking run O & i nearly ran over a snowborder that was getting towed behind a s111 land rover.

Hey Spaceman, is that at Shieldhill near Biggar? I grew up at Baitlaw Farm in the early 90's! If so it is tempting to come down there and see this3ft of snow

No bud Shieldhill at the top of Falkirk next to California lol

lol no worries thought it was unlikely! Funny how google maps didn't throw the one at falkirk up though....

Not really when they think Hamilton is a housing scheme in Nottingham, and other place names show up as the "copies" in USofA and the Antipodes!

You were within 1/2 mile of us then !

   well i asked for snow and boy did we get it in penicuik was at work today when we noticed an ambulance stuck so we tried to push out nae chance so the trusty 110  was fired up and bungie rope wouldent normly use this in snow but these ambulances big and hevy  managed to tow 400 yards to main road and verry greatfull medics and paticent in rear was on way to hospital my good deed for the day

I towed a transit van stuck half way up the hill just past Hillend on the A702 yesterday morning, it was causing all sorts of chaos as everything was having to stop and wait to get past and struggling to get going again. Not bad for a 36 year old series 3! Got a wave from a Defender driver heading down, nice.

Alternative duties today, we've been ferrying home helps around as we're one of the few departments in the council to have 4x4's.

My two good deeds! M.

Is it just me or is it now a proper winter?
i.e. Rain & grey. 
& Yet Glasgow Airport shut for snow clearing


NO SNOW IN ARDROSSAN

Another example of how localised the weather is this winter.  In Bothwell (in the Clyde Valley where it NEVER has a sever winter) there has been 5" in the last 12 hours.

I'm off to play now . . . .
