Glad you've escaped the worst Andrew, our cars are stuck on the drive in snow drifts, roads are mostly impassable & our places of work are closed for safety reasons until further notice. Every cloud ..Andrew 2.8i wrote:I've just been watching the news and there appears to be lots of chaos everywhere. Luckily for us, we've had hardly any snowfall here.

Hope everyone on here is ok, worst weather we've had here in years.

We had a dusting of snow over the weekend, but thankfully the sky is clear and blue today. Just as well, as I awoke the Capri from it's winter hibernation to take it for a quick drive and systems check before the MOT.

Yes, good spot. Hopefully it will be a reasonably easy job and the car will be up and running in no time.

I hope you're safe and sound. I've just seen pictures of Devon on the news, and it doesn't look at all good at the moment.

It was bad in places but all good here thanks, and it's thawing nicely now The novelty of It soon wears off when you get older
Just hope my MOT goes as well as yours in April. The 7 months since I last drove it seem to have passed fairly quickly, but looking to getting behind the wheel again
