  1. ooh that's one to bear in mind if they start doing my route to France.
  2. Pah, that looks crap - give me a travelodge anytime........... i'm not jealous, i'm not jealous i'm not jealous.....
  3. That is so true - i went on holiday for a week and left mine with a forum member - he's moved house now and i still park at his old apartment!
  4. i'll do my best. You're heading slightly further into North Yorks but one of my best mates works in Malton so i'll get her to let me know. My son's girlfriend just came home from work at Full Sutton in tears because she was so frightened driving. Its not a main road, and its fairly twisty, she had a bloke behind her who got right up her backside then eventually overtook her blaring his horn at her. There's just no need for that. If someone is going slow they are either not used to snow, scared, can't drive, whatever, but any of those things should say keep back and give them space.
  5. all i know is you're right, that place has a terrible reputation so make sure you check check and check again for signs of accident damage and repair. A HPI check is a must but may still not give you the full story so be careful!
  6. one of my fave aggressive driving tracks
  7. 2 and a half years now. Whereabouts in east hull are you from? I used to live in Wawne.
  8. I used to live in Hull and went to school in Beverley but rarely get over that way now. I have a friend in Brandesburton i sometimes see. Went to Hull Truck the other week though!
  9. I'm just in the East Yorks area near Pocklington. Where are you from? Rich, the snowman never happened! The snow was so powdery we couldn't even get a decent snow ball going! Was weird! We were both out there in matching wellies and dappy hats but it was useless so we came in and had frothy coffee and put TV on instead!
  10. Yes it really does. When the snow started falling down and the minster was all lit up and playing xmas carols on the bells! Really beautiful.
  11. no point in taking unnecessary risks. I didn't realise you were actually a northerner biscuit??? Its so bloody cold, i left a massive xmas basket arrangement of plants in my car which was a present for my gran. It is now dead........ Thought it would be ok as it was under cover.
  12. Just my crappy camera phone pics from this weekend - wish i had a nice camera and was actually good at taking pics because York was breathtaking last night around the minster area - but NO, we were too busy trying to stay on our feet!
  13. Should be ok by then hopefully. Markie just phoned me to say that it was lethal from my house (which tbh always is as its country roads) A1079 still covered and apparently not gritted or cleared, but by the time he got to Howden and on the M62 no problems at all.
  14. Nice, now do we want to place bets on how long before you get pulled for spacing? That's what they did to me......and i did!
  15. i tried that last night after reading your other post - did it in second and it worked ok.
  16. typical man, it has to be flu.................... Nice pics though!
  17. Don't come biscuit! It's actually still snowing buckets with more forecast for tonight and tomorrow. I am further towards the east than the north but i can't see it being any better.
  18. there's a girl at work that could do with one of those valves........... I know a guy that needs one too! Mentioning no names.............
  19. Yikes! Watch out for a star over your house and beware of 3 dodgy characters turning up on your doorstep bearing gifts.......
  20. does sound like it may be the cold actually - although they are notoriously pants.........
  21. Mm, no yellow snow allowed - and there are no carrots for a nose, I have some sausages so may have to improvise!
  22. several inches of snow this morning and blue sky. We're gonna have bacon butties and then go out and build a SNOWMAN! If it turn out ok i'll post a pic!
  23. i'm jealous. Mine looks like a pig that rolled in crap...........
  24. tbh i went mega slow and bollocks to anyone behind me and i never got into any difficulties. it's very flat here though. I never went above 30mph and on the road in that pic which is an untreated country road i did about 18! The zed was fine. As long as you keep steady and try not to brake and not to put to much power on its ok.
  25. trust me don't be jealous i was pooping my pants.........
