what are your 3 best moments? mine are:
1 towing a freelander attached to a mercedess up an iced up 1 in 4 hill for about 300 yards. :dance:
2 using my 110 and a mates 90 to tow a 7.1/5 tonner up the same hill.
3 taking 10 minutes to go 200 yards down a 1 in 3 side street, 1st gear, low range. this was after being flagged down by a disco driver who had just gone into the back of a parked bmw :shock: we were inching down when my mate came out with the brilliant line "aim for the disco, we can fix that :shock:".genius. :twisted:

1. making 40 quid towing all sorts up the cat n fiddle pass in derbyshire
2. accidentlly telling chris in his 101 that the snow drift was only 20 metres long when it was actually as far as the ey could see and five foot deep then getting mine stuck aswell as his and having to dig out :lol:
3. watchingthe muppets in the office next door get a peugeot 306 stuck diagonally across the up slope on their drive then having to drive past it to pull them up :D then watching them get a bmw stuck in exacly the same place and then out of pride refusing my help untill the had exausted every other option :lol:

Saturday morning sunrise over Stannage..................

none what so ever we got a millimetre of snow if that keeps trying but goes away quicker than it can settle,
-
1, towing a fully laden artic milk tanker up hill with the rangie.
2, taking the nurses to work.
3, pulling a maserati out of a small drift.
-
I am hoping mine will be later on when I get my ranger back so I can go and do response work.

Well,
The look on the face of the woman in the Egg farm when we popped in to buy eggs during a blizzard.
Using HDC when I actually needed it
Towing a car out of a hedge whit the police helping
Remembering why I keep AT's on the Freelander
Remembering why I bought one wiht the winter pack (Heated Seats, Window, Fuel buring Heater)
Remembering why I keep a "popper" two ton stop in the car
Driving out up the grren lane that is the alternate route to our house, as the main lane was sheet ice
Best of all the look on my daugters face as she sledged down the drive in a platic storage box (shes under 2)
And That comment about "Aim for the disco, we can fix that" is pure genius.
-
Just enjoying the snow!!
Lots and lots of recoveries, including a gritter :dance: (counts as 3!!)
Taking my daughter sledging after school (her school has been in every day while every other school around has been closed, poor sod!)
Watching my neighbour (who is a neighbour from hell!!) refuse my help and stuff his new Focus into the wall :dance: :dance: :dance:
I know that sounds evil, but he has made my life hell for two years now, damaging my cars and house, blocking my access with chain and bollards and generally abusing me so I will enjoy this moment!!

i wouldn't have even offered help let alone given it to your neighbour. [-X
-
1. getting my ranger back today
2. trying it out for the first time ever on a slippery surface and up a long steep ish hill to pick my lodger up and it managing it up and down with no effort at all. happy bunny.

I was up for that but SWMBO said that it could be a chance to try and get them to bury the hatchet!! I did have a use for the hatchet and it wasn't burying it :twisted:
Oh well, I know the garage that he's taken it too as its a mate of mine, its a write off!! Not even 3 months old :doh: :lol: :lol: :angel:
-
Driving up the Horseshoe Pass in the snow, passing all the normal cars and reaching the 4x4 park at the top :grin:
-
Hearing the laughter of my 22 month old son as he watched the dog hurling herself round the garden, big smile on her face and ears flying
-
Watching half a dozen muppets in various vehicles trying to go down a closed road, only to re-appear 10 mins later with their tails between their legs!

I know nothing about photography but that's a damn fine photo.
It looks like you took it at the edge of a lake which is reflecting the tree covered mountains on each side.
:clap: :clap: :clap:

I thought the same. I had to look at it several times before I realised it wasn't a lake. Great photo :clap:

1. Getting all the way home last Tuesday 15 miles in ~4 hours, and hearing from my boss he'd had to walk the last 5 miles (he lives 1/2 mile from me) and left his XK8 stuck in a drift taking 8 hours in total.
2. On the way home last Tuesday climbing Funtley Hill to the surprise of the everyone else, the only vehicle that did.
3. Getting a thumbs up from a copper driving a hired in 110 SW.
Worst: finding the constant snow clearing has broken the wiper rack cable...

I have really enjoyed driving about in the snow with the range rover. Been all over the place with the dogs, they have loved it too.

Laughing at my own "Prius Rhyme"
The North wind doth blow
And we shall have snow
And what will your Prius do then, poor thing
Slide into a ditch
Explode into bits
Coz your fighting global war-ming, poor thing
Sorry, im not anti hybrids, but I cant resit it.
