Cheers lads

To continue the first post Aberdeen now has best part of two inches of show,
brilliant!
Present mrs G assures me that the Rangie is the best car on earth to be in
labour in, with both long leg room, a handle infront and on the roof to the
left. Clearly this is a undervalued selling point!

I have it on video, but I would have capture the frames to put in on the

I actually had my video mounted on the dash via a bracket when I ran into
the hedge.

Comes of coming to stop relatively slowly, 10' further up the road
from the first wall impact point are trees. Trees do not move when you
hit them, even small ones (BTDTGTTS). Dry stone walls fall apart, it
takes a fair bit of energy to throw several a 1' cube rocks 20' into a
field...

Looks like it used to be a Mondeo.

Also looks like it did a fairly good job of keeping you alive (all the
main structure lines look intact).  I really really wouldn't want to
do that in a Defender....

I use a 'Dazzle 80' to convert Analogue video to Digital Video.  makes it a
small size, but it _is_ very, very good and pretty cheap.  It'll also record
from TV, Video, indeed and 'normal TV' type source, so we've even captured
PS2 games for the kids to watch .. sad, I know, but they are only kids and
enjoy that kind of thing .. ;)

Just spoke to my man on dartmoor (doesn't own a land rover.... yet).
Tells me there was a scattering of snow yesterday, all gone today
though.
I live right on the coast and therefor also low ground so snow is a
rare thing here, the kids were jumping up and down whenever the rain
yesterday went sleety incase it was snow, promised to take them up to
dartmoor if there was any snow (purely selfless gesture of course),
none yet of any degree though.
Looking through my photos archive here's a couple of snaps from
february, this is the most we get in the way of snow here, more up on
the hills though.

We got a fair bit here in Stoke on trent. I had to take my
grandparents home in it yesterday evening, and then got the car stuck
in the drive when coming back, so couldnt get out in the landy to go
play in it :(
Once i'd towed the car out of the way thismorning, all the roads had
pretty much cleared. am mighty impressed with how good my tyres and
the landy are in the snow. Didnt even try and slip when towing the
saab up the hill.

If i can get the doors to seal. the roof to stop leaking, and fit a
heater in the cab then i may consider it next year :).
As it is, i'd get covered in snow and very cold if i took the landy
anywhere in a blizzard!

There's a light dusting here in Tebay. Very cold though so the biggest
problems are frozen locks and icy roads.
