It seems like months since I drove my car.

It seems like months till I drive my car again

We`ve got a good 8 inches here and it`s still snowing heavily. Please post pictures of days when it was almost too hot to drive your car.

Not quite 8 inches, but am now getting a taste of what my life might be like in 50 years from now - I'm officially housebound!

Anyway, since you asked, here's one

38 degrees centigrade when this was taken in July, at Collioure in the South of France, couldnt touch the top of my door with my arm out of the window without burning it....

It's a club you don't want to join! Guess how I know...

Snow's OK on postcards (and postings from Harrogate)

I haven't seen the tarmac of our road through the village for over 3 weeks due to what is now about 6" thick of ice complete with snow covering ..... it's made the walk to the pub & back more fun though

+ BMW's being so crap in this kind of weather, our's hasn't moved in 3 weeks either

This is the scene at our house at about 6.30 this morning....

My poor old SC shivering in the cold, I must get round to building that garage .
Strange that I don't feel as sorry for the wife's A8 (soulless lump of modern teutonic efficiency .)

I'm off out to give my SC the RSR look by building up the arches with snow. Just need to find a way of keeping it frozen till CLM.
