Seriously bored of our ar5e about face climate. I'm sure many of you are too.
Not only are my Nankang winter tyres tucked up in the shed having been removed last weekend replaced with the original Hankook V12 evo's, but the white stuff this close to Easter has also postponed my birthday treat of driving an Evora V6 around Silverstone :surprised: :scared: :fighting:
Who else wants to take the weather to court? :laugh:
-
Sick to the back teeth of this now....
Its snowing and 30+mph winds here at the mo so that's me not playing golf today :sad1:
Think I'll just go to the golf club and :drinking:
-
picked up new car thursday and have done 50 miles so far!!!! stuck on drive :sad1:
-
I cant pick up my Speedline Turinis :sad1:
Had chance to form opinion on the Hankooks yet Pete?
-
Pick up my brand new BMW on Thursday, first rwd and likely to have snow to contend with.....brilliant :confused:
-
I normally enjoy a bit of cold crisp clear weather, but enough is enough now!!! lots of plans of stuff to do, full detail of car, work around the house and garden but its either too cold, too wet, or snowing!! Looks like its another weekend of internet shopping/dreaming, dvds and food :drinking:

Oh stop bloody moaning!!
These are the very words my wife said to me yesterday as I arrived home (p*ssed off) after a 4 hour journey that normally takes half that on a nice clear day without rain, snow, high winds and motorway accidents.
On a happy note I'm off on holiday on Thursday and its 22 C and sunny in España at the moment. Bring it on!! 8) :jumpmove:
-
Fed up of snow too. It's all putting delays into my house build which has to be finished before my mortgage offer expires. :sad1: Unfortunately, it can't be extended.
-
Cant get out on my bike and cycle :sad1:. I don't shirk from going out when it's cold, slightly damp or windy but the weather today has killed off my usual Saturday bike ride - i'd rather be a wuss than sliding beneath the wheels of a bus :rolleye:
-
Glad to know it's not just me :happy2:
I've checked for the forecast for here and it's supposedly going to hit highs of 6 degrees on Thursday yet snowfall is predicted too? :confused: Don't understand that truth be told :chicken:
I cant pick up my Speedline Turinis :sad1:
Had chance to form opinion on the Hankooks yet Pete?
They're sat nicely waiting :innocent: I've only run the Hankooks for about four months as it came with them as bought and not really a true test as the Continental ContiSport 2's on the rear have about 3mm of tread on.
Will replace with PilotSport 3's all round very soon.

Can't make decent progress around here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJi2kl09Gnc&feature=youtu.be), with all the falling branches and trees, whiteouts (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kDF41nTJuk&list=UUn0ix9XzUeOZeGfTObk8SJw&index=3) etc., turning 2 lanes into one most of the way. I'm ready for the heat wave we had this time last year! However just after that we had this:

Mad climate! :rolleye:

It only just started snowing here about about half an hour ago, I usually love driving in the snow but I'm on standby to take the wife to hospital to have our baby so don't want too much this time!
-

I didn't let the snow put me off this morning as traded in the passat for a brand new Audi A1 S Line collecting in a week. The audi dealer was deserted and the service was excellent
Just means we now have the Pirelli as our main car :jumpmove:

Do you like potatoes?
It won't be too long before they can't be viably grown on any sort of scale. The ground is saturated.
Potato prices have increased by 189% since last year, apparently.
We will destroy the world, it's just a matter of time.

this time last year a good deal of us weren't allowed to wash our cars as hose pipe bans were coming into effect :rolleye:

What snow? :signLOL:
Golf Thursday in sunny skies with 12c
Picked up my snowboard yesterday afternoon as it went in for a service (Cleaned, Scrapes filled with Ptex, Edges done and re-waxed) ready for the slopes again in 2 weeks, just hope it keeps snowing in Austria for the next 2 weeks :happy2:

Well there's been 14ft snow drifts a couple miles away from me, so don't think I'll be going for any drives for the next couple of days :driver:
Sorry for the small pic, it's the only one the police managed to take :surprised:

Had some more snow overnight... this drift was over the top of the landy :surprised: Doubt the Golf would have made much progress today, even with winter boots on.
