Look like the snow upset my car

Post by **Doombrain** » Thu Feb 08, 2007 9:53 am

I tried for 90 mins to get to work today. Both the roads are blocked with trucks that can't make it the hills.
It took me 15 mins to get the fucking car back in the drive!

Best part is we've only had 6" of snow. I have a engineer from Finland over for training and he thinks it's funny. I had to ring him to say i'm not coming in today, he pissed himself.

Getting some pics right after i spend the day playing 360.

I live on the top of some fairly steep hills. So it was great knowing that I couldnt get my car down the road for work. Until my fucking boss phones up and says he picking me up in his Land Rover! And he made it too :icon33:

Fuck it, I wanna go home

I live in the highest point in Shropshire, and its been none stop all day.

But it hasn't stopped me doing my every day shit. I love how the news is acting like its World War III... Its a bit of snow FFS. It happens every year... You think by now those asshats would be used to it...

"OMG LOOK AT THE SNOW ITS LIKE WHITE AND SHIT!!"

I just spoke to my Mum in Shropshire 16 miles from you and she says it's not that bad.
I have a 17" drift on my front door now.

btw, the "bit of snow" I had stopped my car from going up a hill. Perhaps when you get a real job outside of the festering shithole that is Telford you'll understand how these things can "stop you from doing everyday things"

Yeah, I couldn't get to work today either because of snow, so I cancelled. Which is just as well since I didn't wish to leave the 3 women in my bed all alone having to find something to do.

I can barely go anywhere in the Z when it snows. The traction control does an ace job of keeping me in my lane but it takes a decent amount of effort to keep 300hp from doing anything but spinning in the snow.

My car's a diesel. It has 350lb of torque at something like 4000rpm so it's traction control or ABS.
