Kawasaki Triples Club

Up at 3.45am to go to work, look out the window and there's a nice 3" dusting of snow. Took me 3/4 of an hour to get to work a trip that usually takes 10 mins , no gritting what so ever It was pretty treacherous really an ambulance had taken out the traffic lights turning into the hospital and there were abandoned vehicles everywhere Once at work the boss tells me to go home "the weathers to bad" Just having a brew then I can have the rest of the day in the garage. I love the British weather

Jammy git ! It is my day off today. I just hope it stays for a day or two!!

6 inch of snow here the most i have ever known!
all work cancelled to day and even the buiders yard has shut
my daughter who is a district nurse has spent 2 hours doing a half hour journey and still hasnt got to work
her boss has just rang her and told her to go home too!

down here in Sittingboune there is only a light dusting, it seems most of the uk has got it hard.

[b]Plenty Snow here..picture taken this morning...just had long standing hospital appt cancelled so am a bit pissed off bout that [/b]

The M62 ground to a halt despite the road surface being clear, so got off and went down the little lanes.. then sat in a queue behind a woman doing 3mph then trying to get her estate car up a hill, instead of taking a run at it in a high gear.

After 15mins of her slithering around, someone pushed her car round so she went back down, then everyone else just drove up the hill at a reasonable pace.

Graham if you would have been a gentleman you would have got out yourself and pushed her round



or was you just too warm in the car

Dropped my Seat off at the Upholsterer yesterday. I drive a 200SX which is a bit too light to cope with snowy conditions, If it goes sideways on the drive then best to just forget it!. I couldnt understand why the car was gripping yesterday, and then i remembered i had six bags of coal in the boot, reminded me of the old capri handling kit ........

very few snow this morning the middle of the roads are Ok, the sides white

today in Sutton Coldfield (apt) it Arr Snow, wet clingy snow... so I am celebrating epihany by gassing with u lot, no heater in the Garage so I keep popping out, fiddling with the wiring and coming back in to warm up...what a lovely day yay

Bloody tease Sam....where are they then...eh....huh

I had to put a concrete paving slab in Janey's Bee em one year, modern cars with front wheel drive should be fine until the snow reaches up to the cross members. then it becomes a sled.


Got a day at home tomorrer, think I'll be making one of these....
