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

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...

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 .. ;)

Mr.Nice. - 26 Dec 2004 11:59 GMT >Has anyone got any snow? If so, whereabouts are you (UK only!!) >Richard 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. http://www.markvarleyphoto.co.uk/temp.htm

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!

Unfortunately, I can;t take the 101 to the new place as the gates arnt wide enough!. I have to breathe in to get the landy through them.
