Walked past it on the way to get a bottle of wine. Walked past it again to drink said bottle a bit later

No Keith, took the cover off the other day to give it a run out, got home & it started raining so left it off. Never stopped raining/snowing since

Have done the same over the last few days

It does fill you with certain happiness when you watch several others attempt an icy hill and fail (then stupidly abandon it at the bottom) then you press one button and away you go, no wheelspin, no sliding about anywhere.
Really is an impressive and well thought out, but at the same time simple thing.

No need for a snow button really. Just let the clutch out gently, no right foot, and away you go.To get to where I live is all uphill, and have always got home without to much trouble.Watched the woman visitor trying to get off the front garden yesterday, three million revs and standing still, and cars getting stuck on the road outside. Shame really no buses were running up here, they could have got on the bus.

Just had my cam belts changed today, as there was no evidence of them ever having been done in the service receipts of my newly purchased 2.5 V6, the garage showed the old ones to me and thought they were the originals.

Fitted the new tyres to the ZT, give it a wash as the hosepipe had defrosted, then reversed it onto the drive.

Today's jobs include a check of the lights, then a run along to the MOT station.

One of these days I'm going to have it tested during the summer, I can't abide the spanners freezing to your fingers when working outside on the car

Hmm, flickering LED festoon number plate lamps, I'm off to the factors to buy real bulbs in a few minutes
