Here's a couple of quick photo's I took this morning - my school is shut so I'm off to bed for a bit now!

I also have a v short video where I lifted the clutch up in 1st and the front right wheel just spun and the car didn't move! I got out and videoed it!

God I hate winter. Day's of warnings of snow for some rain and thunder. Same every year here! Anyone in Devon / Cornwall will feel my pain!

You guy's don't know how lucky you are!!
Ever driven in snow in the UK though? Its fun for the first hour then it becomes bloody annoying. Everyones driving FAR too slow, you overtake at 15MPH and get beeped at, and if the roads have not been salted properly as is so often the case here its absolute chaos and fender benders everywhere. Had snow in Stoke when I had my 4Motion and car park = fun, town = not fun...we are laughably unprepared for it over here

No snow in Manchester City Centre at the moment although it had started snowing in Sharston this morning when I left so hopefully I've got some to look forward too tonight when I go home

We always get crap weather in Manchester!!

I remember driving to Redditch on the M40 a few years back - and there was really heavy snow. It was awful to drive in as you got kinda tunnel vision - I was doing about 40mph - couldn't see more than 100 yards.

People still were going passed at 70+...madness

Yo Sim, I've been to Northampton this morning....3-4" on the R32 - gripped like a dream in the fresh snow...but once it had packed down on my drive was struggling to get the lock to put it back infront of the garage....the snow had packed underneath...lifting it a little
