I'm afraid I don't think I could cope with one flake of snow on 'Gladys' (my Allegro) but.......

Due to fact the garage roof on the lock up where I keep my 1983 Metro has collapsed i've had to bring that home to put it in the garage where my 1989 Metro normally resides hence.........

Cheers Tom!

And I must say what a stunning pair of Metros! Not seen them in the flesh as yet but looking forward to the day I do, they look beautifully original.

Another Agg fo us here, who does this belong to?

More snow, more pics - Warren and Gonzo with this morning's London dusting:



it can't have been too bad here at home; at work, Meryl was about twice as thickly covered, and that was after blowing off the first hour's coverage on the drive to work! (I knew I should have taken something smaller, and FWD...)

And another of my brace, taken by my wife his morning. The difference in snow cover on the bonnets is down to cleaning both at 6pm then using Warren until 9pm... It was only after then that the snow finally eased off!

Richie's surely wins on depth of snow, and that was in the south!
