Just had our first blast here at about 2.40pm

Kyle's school called at 3.15pm to ask us to collect him cauce football training had been cancelled due to the SNOW.

We where in Cheshire about 7 miles away and had just a small flutter for about 10 minutes.

Got to kyle's school and every where is white over. Mind you, his school is only about a mile from the highest point in Staffordshire, MOW COP.

Hey Red Oktober, Wheel arrived in quick time, I thought I sent you a PM that it arrived. Got the MT's on all 5 wheels now. Picked up a couple of steel bars for roof rails. Lick of paint and a few U bolts for the spare on top. Just got to fit the wheels to the car now. But waiting till Ive moved the rest of the stuff from Dublin before I get stuck into preparing the Fronty.

Looking forward to it. I have some bits on order from the states but I could be looking at 4 more weeks. been waiting 3 already :( Then when they arrive and get fitted Im gonna start looking at winches. Either one of those 12000 lbs jobbies on ebay or a 12000 lbs champion. Kinda leaning more towards champion as they are waterproofed and available in the UK. Noticed you have a winch. anything in particular I should be looking out for?

Ummm..... Winches :D :D :D A lot of my friends cant seem to make the distinction between winches and wenches. I kept trying to explain that one has many uses and the other one has less uses.

You decide which is which :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
