muttley 0 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 I dont like it anymore I've just drove home in it and its about a foot deep here, none of the roads have been gritted and cars are breaking down everywhere.slid down a hill towards a parked car, missed it by a few inches.I've never been bothered by it before but tonight i'm not ashamed to say that i was scared I was shaking when i got in Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Phew for the near miss. Nowhere near that much here and I'm not a million miles away. Makes me happy to be unemployed as I don't have to leave the house. Link to post Share on other sites
Tel 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 About a foot of snow here in Tonbridge. Working nights and the VR is just sat there looking nice in the snow. Until my shift finishes anyway. Glad to hear you didn't smack the car, I think I might leave mine here. Lol Link to post Share on other sites

SamboVr6 0 Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Holy crap!! That was an adventurous journey!! I do NOT like my vr in the snow. We have about a foot here too and with living in the country none of the roads have been gritted. My car is officially like a snow plow with the front lip.I have spun my car twice today on the way to work, once on a roundabout and the other down steep downwards hill with a bend in the middle :-(Lucky escape there muttley and i know how you feel, i've got to drive home in it in the dark yet ;( Link to post Share on other sites
