I would recommend that you buy your sledges tomorrow - they are on offer in the Garden Centres, you need to be quick!!
Buy 2 and sell 1 at the slope, for the price they both cost you - it's free sledging then!!

Yay,
No car more perfect for snow than the BMW shed I'm driving at the mo. RWD and active diff (TC off - of course
). Coupled with tyres that actually work in cold weather (Michelin PS Primacy) does make the thing a joy to pander about in the snow.
Unlike the scoob's rear LSD which caused all sorts of havoc should one go into a slide...who would have thought a RWD would be LESS tail happy than an AWD scoob?

The rest of the country could be under snow but we'll miss it round here in Mole Valley, as per usual. I hate living on a band that seems to miss 99% of extreme weather
