monkeyblair Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Started off from SQ to Glasgow at 7am this morning, got to outside our office at 3pm as my boss sent an E Mail advising he was pissing off and closing for the day!! Only reason I was going in was for my year end appraisal. Have booked into Travelhovel and company have agreed to pick up the bill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HC2009 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 It took me 2 and a half hours to drive from the gyle to newbridge - a journey which google maps says should take only 8 minutes!!! I hate the snow! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booker_d Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Was pushing motors this afternoon when I was out for the first time - stupid Audis/BMWs that can't drive in these conditions. I was fine in my beemer. Its the driver, not the car. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dufresne Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I was fine in my beemer. Its the driver, not the car. Likewise in my Audi I was getting back to the house today and the guy in front of me stopped on a hill just outside the village as he was giving it to much revs and just spinning instead of just keeping a steady pace in a high as possible gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fife Saint Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Tell you what, those Weiss-shoes are the tits. I've got a Focus and I was arse for elbow going nowhere last night. Managed to tax a pair off my old man and I can go anywhere, i'm talking proper anywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattydfc Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Us Dundonians feel very left out can we please have some? I hope we do, cause I have to walk 6 miles to College and back and I enjoy the snow. Although it will make the trek a bit harder, especially at 7:45 in the morning and 16:15 especially after a day of resistance training. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebanda's Handyman Services Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I was fine in my beemer. Its the driver, not the car. Can't agree with that. Some cars just aren't built for being anywhere near the snow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClydebankJag Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Dumbarton rd is like a fucking skating rink tonight and yorkhill is full of abandoned nhs folks cars. Drove down Dumbarton Rd today at 1ish (from expressway towards Clydebank) and it was a skating rink then. The snow compacted and iced almost instantly. Getting moving after stopping was almost impossible. I've never seen such poor road surfaces in the 20 years since I passed my test. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiviClyde Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well I left work at 2. No way was I pissing about in that at 5. Absolute joke trying to get out of our Industrial Estate. Even the cops were going round roundabouts the wrong way. Of course I meet a big f**k off truck when I try it. It's the train for me tomorrow (if they're on). My car doesn't like this at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fueradejuego Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Left work in Hamilton at 3:30pm and had walked about 11miles when I managed to cadge a lift just outside Hampden Park. Walked the last 2 miles home after getting dropped off. Quite impressed that it only took me 4hrs to get 16miles. Fucking knackered now though Guys from the work staying overnight in Hamilton including some who reached Raith Interchange, waited 4 hours, did not move and turned back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFC Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Remember guys the local councils and the Scottish Government have 'learned their lesson from earlier in the year" that means that no salt will be put out so they can say they have plenty in stock. No grit, plough or shovel has touched my housing estate in over a week. Cheers for the help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
