Raymond. 45 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 It has all started again.... A few weeks back playing in the snow resulted in 168 miles on a FULL tank Noby, it did tell you before. That's not 'snow' in your pictures. That's just a tiny dusting what my grandma wouldn't even slip on.... This is what snow looks like... And the day after.....

Raymond. 45 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I have a set of snow chain but apparently you get fined using them in the UK as the roads are made out of chocolate? I was actually getting quite frustrated this morning with the amount of 'idiots' stranded, driven into each other and generally being c***ts. They should introduce some additional driving tests or start taking people off the road! If you can't drive, don't drive. If you can't drive faster than 20MPH with a bit of snow, don't drive If you think you need to come to a complete standstill because you're approaching a corner, don't drive. Catch the public nanny state bus!!! It seems that everything can and will be blamed on somebody else, something else and especially the weather. We are laughed at by half of Europe. Yes, we are!

The Transporter 41 Report post Posted February 5, 2013 I read that Moscow is paralysed due to snow but then they have just have had the largest snow fall for 100 years. Having driven through France and Spain in the snow, I'm not too sure that the Brits do too badly, it's just that we don't get enough snow to learn properly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can see Nobby sliding into your back end... you dirty man Transpoter ... dont worry Ray will go nice and easy behind you with those slipprey rubbers on!! oops i meant will drive sensibly and keep my distance with my summer tyres in the snow... Nonsense! He has the fastest car in the world and has super "Nobby" powers..... Is IS300 a fast car for what it is?? Yes it is fast...its not exotic car ferrari, Lambo fast nor is it V8 400+ bhp fast but it can comfortably keep up and most times outrun most 200 to 300 bhp both naturally aspirated and Turbo charged petrol and Diesel cars around its weight capacity.. and 200 - 300bhp cars are what we normally see on UK roads and are driven by majority of people as anything past 300bhp is too expensive to run and one wont have enough road in UK to max them out anyway. :winky: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
