Cmon mell, take out the m3 for some sideways action, bit of slalom through wheelie bins and off you go.

You should make it for the rolling road, should have defrosted by then.

528 for now

Its been pretty wild out the Huntly way over the past week, My sport went for paint on Monday, the guy phoned on Thursday saying it was finished but there was no way I was getting away from his place as his "farm" road was completely level. He said he'd phone when it was passable......still waiting !

it took me an hour and a half to dig the car back in to the drive yesterday there is almost 3 feet of snow in our car park.

I could see the car yesterday but all i can see now is the door handles and a couple of inches of body work and not much else.

1 good thing about this it is stopping that bloody cat next door jumping up with muddy paws i think i will have to invest in a super soaker water pistol to discourage it

If you can't be good don't get caught

We had about 4 inches of snow here this morning, nothing amazing but still good fun with wide wheels and plenty of torque. Sideways action! Sun has got his hat on now, so most of it has thawed away sadly. I really want a good fall, but need to drive south on Monday so perhaps not too much.

This is becoming "not a BMW week"

It has been snowing continually overnight and we now have another 4" lying in the driveway where it had been cleared yesterday.  The main A93 is barely recognisable as a road once again.

Looks like I can't get to work for another day

Mango seems to be enjoying it though!

We finally got a small layer of snow in the last hour - about time too! Now where is the rest of it?
