Well, left work in Edgware yesterday at 12:30 nice an early, thought I would surprise the missus for a change instead of getting home at 6 like usual. Drove toward the A1 saw a nightmare in front of me with cars sliding all over the place trying to drive up a 10 degree up hill section. Thought, I know I'll use the M1 M25 to get to Enfield bound to be gritted and ok, Yeh right, absolute mayhem all over the place so my adventure began trying to get home. It's great having four wheel drive and diff locks but not when you've got hundreds of two wheel drive di**heads in front spinning the wheels going nowhere. That feels better. Off back out to do xmas shopping now, ace
funny enough i finished work about thesame time as you and my normal journey of half an hour became two and a half due to car's sliding all over the place.
i was especially surprised how easily the BMW's driver's were loosing control in the snow,while i fly past them in my Rs2

Christ I didn't think anyone in Enfield had enough sense to drive anything like an S2! In the 19 years I lived there never saw anything as cool as that
I had to drive from herts to swindon yesterday, started off in baldock at 3.40pm, spent an hour sitting by amazon near j13 of the m1 with snow drifts as high as the crash barriers. Tried turning around and going back the way I came but got stuck going towards the a5 so ended up carrying on to swindon thru mk. Got to the otherside of mk and got stuck in a snow drift just after a round about, a kind chap helped dig me out whilst people just drove past and carried on, I followed him for a bit as he was going the same route till he turned off and I promptly got stuck on the hill about half way up, then another person came and towed me up in a 4x4 truck.
After carrying on I came to buckingham and promptly put the car in a ditch/snow drift around 7.40pm and I had dig myself out whilst two forign people stopped looked and carried on whilst I did that. After finally getting out I carried on down then spent around 1hr on the m40 in traffic. After coming off the m40 and heading towards swindon someone in a s4 tried overtaking the row of traffic in the snow lane and getting stuck blocking that lane, I then had someone in a pug behind me complaining that I couldn't pick up much speed as my car was acting like one big snow plough being so low (pita and getting abit fed up of it)
Surprisingly after the botley interchange (the bit I was worried about as there is a steep long hill) it was very clear as someone had cleaned it which was brilliant.
Got back to swindon @ 00.15am this morning, then today cleared a lot of the snow and ice off the car, had a look at the damage on the passenger side of the car. Must say worst journey i've ever had to do, right pita and it was amazing how many muppets are on the road, that and impatient people wanting you to do 90 in the snow when your lucky to get possible 40mph.
