You are a certified nutter sir! Couldn't believe it when you arrived hehe

Shame I had to leave, but that RAC fellow was a star.

Well that was a fun day....

Hats off (or rather hats on) to harsh and dapprman for rolling in wih the roof down in heavy snow... Make me laugh and confused the hell out of the ace staff...

Had an interesting journey back, whilst less than 3 miLes, that flatest route, I still very nearly got stuck a number of times. Big 295 tyres, loadsa torque and a very light back end make snow a challenge.... !!!!!

am not sure if anyone at PH is brave/ fool hardy enough to even think about organising one in winter again!
am up for it if the roads weren't clogged with incompetence!

An rear wheel drive on skinny tyres with hardly any power......could not have been more fun!

I decided not to mention it before but not it's official, £60 fine

I thought you were setting a bad example with this and surprised the RAC let it go

Snow not cleared off your roof (rear window and boot) - a potential hazard when it falls off Mr Garlick, tut, tut, £60 fine if you're caught now

Setting a bad example? I'm not a road safety officer hehe

I did manage to get away with it though, but went about 200 yards before getting stuck in traffic for the next hour.

It's not your fault it's Alfa's!

I'm thinking of setting up a petition about manufacturers neglecting this snow clearing requirement when designing their cars will PH back me, us?
