That was from last year (minus the Strauss and speech bubbles), I'm waiting for this year's crop of summer tyres on snow jollies :cheesy:

I'll have a look at the clock when I post this....Let's see, 09:08 here, 08:08 there...

Edit: The time is right - got yours set up for GMT Lozz?

Weather is horrible here :( Yesterday we had blue skies, sun, drizzle, showers, hail that settled, snow, thunder, lightning that hit two nearby trees and gale force wind. The only thing that was missing is a tornado. You don't get an hourly variation like anywhere else in the world!

And it's not much better today... what's going on :(

Angular Merkin is indeed the Wicked Witch of the West and has sent this bad weather in revenge for Cameron (rather uncharacteristically IMHO) giving the EU the finger.

About the bus, isn't it mid engined or rear engined, there should be some weight over the driven wheels.
Is rear engine rear wheel drive cars like the old beetle any good at driving in the snow?

I fort that was obveeus.

Depends on the Beetle, if it's a Super Beetle then possibly, if it's a normal one with the single jointed rear and torsion bar front then they were dangerous enough in the wet...
