It was snowing for a fair few hours here. Its raining now though. I will probably not risk taking the next '6 out when it's snowing, after what happened last time Although we don't really see much here at all. I have never seen more than 5cm. ________________________________________ I Live for the 306TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

We didn't suffer with hardly any snow last year when other parts of the country had huge amounts, so maybe its our turn now!________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
