A dusting only here, but the wife reports a bit more in Durham itself

Just had a rather large hail shower (actually hail only falls in summer, in winter they are ice pellets) maybe we`ll get some snow later.  :)

Lucky buggers up north. I don't see anything bar rain here. Just spent 3 hours trying to get an astra with a naf starter motor started. It draws power as the lights dim but not a bean of start.

oh, if anyone is interested, MR Passat was still there this morning... lol Gonna have to confirm which house he is actually visiting, if only to be certain.

Nice stants, you are staying an hour away from me! Keep us posted on the weather, might nip up tomorrow night to play in the snow if there is some still

we've got snow outside, yay! hoping for more overnight.

We had quite a lot in Sheffield last time, think we'll miss it on this occasion since it's not even showing signs yet.

Mind you, even last time I didn't get out much. Too worried about other people in normal 2WD cars who can't even drive in a bit of rain losing control and hitting my car.

Pumped the Tyre up, put £30 of fuel in and Anti lagged some home boys

I have had thermostat changed on my 03 sti as it was overheating. Fixed :)

I think this needs it's own thread. Turning into quite an event.

A thread for "The mystery Passat"

clear the car then early morning play time [emoji16]

Wow that's some nice snow, if its there tonight I'm finding it

We have about an inch of soft hale here......not worth a mention I don`t know why it bothered!!

Although saying that....some !Removed! lorry driver`s blocked the M65 with his jacknifed wagon......what a !Removed!!!

Ordered myself a Meguairs lambswool mit and a grit guard for my bucket this morning  :)

 

Did I mention the mrs has now gone and pranged our new lease car too earlier this week 

Ordered cambelt + water pump. Oil filter + oil. Fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs. [emoji4] Gonna be busy soon

Major service coming up by chance Ghost? Good list! Doing the work yourself?

I'll do the it all except cambelt. I owned a fiat for 6 years so I have a personal mechanic. He can do the belt. It's a bit important for me to be playing with.

Nipped to Richmond today, loads of snow up on the hills there. Great fun in the legacy. Was driving on an untreated road, covered in compacted snow and ice. The leggy didn't slip once was firmly planted to the road. The sat nav took me down a very sleep cobbled lane and still not a single slip. Those winter tyres were certainly worth it!

Had some wiper blades delivered was going to fit them but it's raining

Better get them on then

Received my Clay Cloth this morning so that's a job for Friday now

Received my Clay Cloth this morning so that's a job for Friday now, unless it snows.

By the way, my drive is 1:7 with a tight 90degree bend at the bottom (so no run up to get out) I hate snow

Mate you'll have no problems,

Today I've been mainly driving around here

Although the main road is clear nothing else was and the only time I had a slight problem was going down as 16% hill and the abs kicked in. Apart from that she only got out of Shape when i wanted her to [emoji51]
