When is this sodding snow and ice going to go away. I haven't driven the Striker for at least 6 weeks !

Rubbish isn't it!!

Winter time is upgrade time, will have a flat shift and some other bits next time I get to drive the beast :D
I'm unhappy because I eat, and I eat because I'm unhappy.

We've got the opposite problem....40 degs here in Perth.
Probably more in my workshop, I'm not game to venture out there to check :)

. Well ,personally I wish they'd leave the salt in the heap . Salt wasn't used when I first past my test decades ago . Snow ploughs simply swept the snow aside leaving a couple of compacted inches for us to drive on . Major roads got a little grit(not salt) and I don't ever recall not getting home or anywhere else I needed to go. All schools stayed open too . I had a Mini pickup at the time and winters were always -10 and sometimes -20 with snow hanging around till late spring some years. Frozen previously salted roads are a pain in the BUTT . I had a chainsaw and shovel in the back during winter which got me past wind blown trees down on one or two occasions. I quite like pitting myself against the elements anyway ------- rant over !!!!!!
