Default Managed to get in!

My bit of Cardiff is really quite bad (I am down by the Forest Farm Nature Reserve) and the roads are pretty ****e!. I know the valley boys are getting it quite bad, I am an ex-Ebbw Vale boy so I know but.....................

My neighbour is a 2.4 kids, dog, designer wife and drives a company Vulva (most tw*ts have them). Last night he was fitting snow chains and looking quite smiug with himself.

Not as smug as me this morning as I had to over take him on the hill as he was going nowhere.

Got in to work, the car park mwas empty so waaaaaay heeeeey, doughnut time!

Got in ok, Llanelli to Cardiff. M4 was fairly good, but local roads in Cardiff are snowy.

It took me nearly 4 hours to get home last night from Pontypridd to Llanelli, mostly due to inconsiderate drivers blocking roundabouts meaning it took me over 2 hours to do less than a mile.

This morning to reverse journey took me 1.5 hours to get into work but the roads around Pontypridd are treacherous to say the least, they are not gritting anything other than the A470.

I went down to Newport earlier and the roads there are not much better when you come off the main roads.

Well after a careful journey to work this morning in Blackwood, I got about 100 yards from work and ended up digging out 2 lorries trying to get to our place.

Its between 9in to 11in deep up here, but the tractors have been out this morning to clear our car park which means some fun later, though it has just started to rain.

I love the diff control on my STi. Got in to work this morning and had a play in the empty car parks. It turns out only 4 of us made it in. HaHa I had a day on the net and watching films on my laptop.

These cars are brilliant in the snow but stopping is the same as the lesser cars
