Past 2 yrs in a row , I'v come around a corner and said BMW X driver in a ditch . " can you help me mate " ? Neither time did I get a penny for rolling bout tying shackles and ropes . So this yr it's a " sorry mate but I'm stuck in 2WD " Unless of course there's a flash of eye lids or a big wallet . |

The only warning we have for next week is sever wind, they must know that the wife is doing the cooking. Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to us off.

Heavy and persistent snow, freezing gales and sub-zero temperatures threaten to grind the country to a standstill for up to FIVE MONTHS, horrified long-range weather forecasters have warned.
The impending bout of extreme weather will come as a shock and forecasters have warned Britons should not to be lulled into a false sense of security by the recent mild conditions. January is currently showing signs of temperatures hitting “record-breaking” lows meaning parts of the country could see the mercury plunge to -27C (-17F).

I think the stats say more 4x4's get stuck in a run than any others. Therefore proving 4x4's are rubbish. 
(In the same way more people die in bed than anywhere else so therefore bed is the most dangerous place to be.) |
