Unlucky suckers! I only have to scrape the front screen of my van..........and better still..........being rwd I get to have lots of fun :)

This morning I chucked it into a small roundabout in Canterbury and would you believe it..........the rear got loose :w00t: so a 360 drift around the roundabout and a bunch of students laughing their heads off later and I got to work safely :)

I drive sensibly most of the time.........it's just the van that brings the evil out in me :) I love the cold and the winter :)

A few years ago........there was a really bad snow up near Chrimbo and I had my Escort van :innocent: well.......driving back from Broadstairs flat out in the fast lane on the way home.........that was fun! :) Although I nearly did stuff it in the armco changing lanes.........but I saved it and kept my foot in :)

Another cool route.......used to be the one going to my college in Maidstone.......flat out along country lanes with snow banks either side. Funny thing is........I tend not to drive any slower when its snowing or icy than when it's a sizzling hot day with the tarmac moving around with your fingers.

Got to love driving in any conditions really......at any time......any place.......but most of you probably know that :)

In some ways I am rather glad I live in Hampshire then Jim :laugh:

Am the same, my Zed lives in the garage, and the Rover 75 is the watchcar!!!! as that sits outside in the cold!!!

if mine has ice I just move it over the road into the sun and go back to bed again

The joys of never having to commute hehe

I miss my old garage, I could back a car on its trailer in there and shut the door down, now I can't even get my bike in there!

However, all that is changing! My lovely wife has enroled me on a brickies course in January so I can build a bigger garage :w00t:
