I bet thrashermax is in bed now catching up on some sleep!!! I have friends who got stuck on the A23 ad only got home at 4am. I picked my wife up in her golf gti and was amazed at the number of idiots racing their engines and wheel spinning and in turn polishing the snow to sheet ice! Gentle throttle control didn't seem to register with most people. Then there were the panic brakers wondering why they were sliding into the kerbs with a bang, there would have been a lot of dinged wheels about.
In our case a 10-15minute journey took 3.5 hours, new front tyres on the golf made it possible to carefully make my way up all the hills past the wheel spinners!
Meanwhile Cecil is tucked up in the garage under its fitted cover !
