Loving the snow.......
As a new owner my timing couldn't be better. Loving the
Capability in the snow. Quite unbelievable what the car
Can cope with. When everyone around in spinning the
Disco gets through the snow with ease. Looks like it's going to
Be with us on east coast for a while aswell.

I don't know how I lived without It. In my town all the 4wd faithfuls came out in force. Usually we get jip for having them but when we were stopped people would say how they wish they had one.

Yes that was us going up to Perth. Had a dodge m90 accident
And went through glenfarg which was very interesting.
Driving up m90 this morning the road was littered with
Abandoned cars from last night. I can't remember it this bad.

Well If it was you I saw your car looked good. Even with a 4wd I am not taking any of the cars out. Not even going to attempt going to work tomorrow, and I have to look after the kids anyway. Snow day for us 2011 RRS 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Fuji White - Due 30th July

Was this you perchance?? Did think at the time you looked like you were enjoying yourself, thought that was just for moving!

It was! I was trying to get from Highlands to SE Engerland, had to abandon & head up to home again. Closure of the M90, A9 & Tay Bridge left the north totally stuffed for heading south.

Now had 3 days of careful snow driving to work and back and due to slow traffic in one lane etc I have been averaging 31mpg! Best ever but that is with an average speed of barely 30mph.....Although hearing fuel stations are running low so better fill her up soon.

IIRC, there has only been one occasion of snowfall in Sydney (in 1937?).
We are, currently, suffering the cold at about 25°C.

Dreading the heating bill for this quarter. Almost going to be as bad a disco fuel bill......
