I did need to go out. I was helping a mate who's mate's van had fallen off the road at work 14 miles away.
No need to refer to e in the 3rd person, I'm here
I am well aquainted with Thunderbirds and my strings are well and truly cut
Nope, just at work in a site and it was a cambered slope. Van slithered down due to the wrong tyres...
blue beasty
Leaks an prone to bits dropping off
If I was 14 miles away....
Never met the bloke. He was a mate of a mate. My mate is a nice lad, so of course I would help him... Besides, it was worth a bottle of finest scotch

Obviously needed tyres with studs in. Winter tyres summer tyres on ice have same grip level, think it is something around zero.
No ice involved, just snow, snow and more snow... However, it did drop to minus 2 later on as I was leaving. On the main road it was snowing heavily, then off, then on again. Interesting conditions on the way back. Took it easier, and lookee here, I'm still in one piece. Thing is, I don't see the need to lie about it. There are some I have on other forums who declare to have never driven over the speed limit or some such, when it's blatantly obvious they are lying! I don't actually drive like an arse. If I figure conditions are such that I need to adjust my driving, then I will. Through town for instance, if I see pedestrians, regardless if it's a 30mph zone or not, I slow down so I can react sooner, much to the chagrin of the motorist behind. I don't care, pedestrians are floppy and breaky, unlike us with a cage of steel and restraining belts. If I see horses, I slow down and if possible, will drive past with clutch down and engine whispering (or if auto let it creep) if I can see the horse being a horses arse (it happens).
Like I said previously, I am experienced and know when to call it a day. I don't go hooning everywhere, last night I went past a heap of crawlers and am being lambasted for it. So be it, I will take it on the chin as possibly I deserve a shower of blokes I've never met giving me what for
But I am not going to back pedal and claim I never did it I'm with @Doo on this, yer all southern pussies when it comes to the white stuff.
(i'll get me shovel)
Ha ha ha, better make it a big one mate, they have words

Changed the fob batteries.
Never done that! Probably tempting fate. What is it? CR2032?
CR2025 X2
Bugger. Had 2 spares left from the Omega and then gave them away as they'd been sat on a shelf for 3 years. hey-ho.
