Day off too went to the station and they have closed the Chigwell loop, and the Rocco is not being driven anywhere lol

So my dog Flo (Nutty Black Lab) and I have gone to play

Yep,

same on mine this morning 6" on top, looked like a frosted mint cake no day of work for me though, someones got to keep the lights on!!

I thought I had bought a black Scirocco. For some reason it seems to have changed to a white one overnight

Few inches up here in Manchester. Drove to train station after a bit of a gentle scraping of snow (car was completely covered!). Missed my train as I drove very sedately. Train to Leeds delayed by 10 minutes so not so bad. Don't think I am going to hang about too long though today, sounds like more is on the way and it's going to hit the north.

There's not a great deal of snow between York and Hull, two or three inches, but the roads are covered. The 235/45s that are so nice normally are a bit of a liability in these conditions... Wish I was at home, but that's nothing to do with the weather.

It's snowing hard here in Warks now.

Managed to get the roc back in the garage before the majority of it came down.

Staying at home til the thaw now

i did put it in comfort this morning but 30 mile commute was okish except for the final couple of miles and car park i disengaged the esp a few times, front spoiler will make a great snow plough,

it was reassuring that bmw owners had adapted their driving style and slowed down to 95 in the ouside lane (with slush), he was in a hurry to join the tail of a jam somwwhere

I dropped my roc into APS to be remapped and a few extra goodies and Ed has lent me their fully sorted edition 30 golf. Over 300BHP through the fronts in the snow was interesting to say the least, Should get the roc back by the end of the week and will post a full report in the MODS section.

I had always wanted to take a few nice shots of my black Roc against crisp clean white snow on a sunny day but this is NOT what I had intended.

Roc On!!

Didnt realise you are only up the road from me well 30 mins through Epping to Harlow

madness i drove up form oxford to staffordshire last night and probably had the easiest trip as main roads were in excellant condition and no traffic, indeed it was a joy to drive as the average 25mpg testified on the trip

Its got 6 gears Andy, 25MPG ?????????? you must of gone all the way in 3rd......lol

sir_rocco i'm in our k04 equipped motor which even in 5th/6th would appear to have an appetite for unleaded

know what you mean, I have been in Ed's 300 plus BHP edition 30 all week, certainly got a thirst compared with the roc but SUCH fun. Cannot wait to get the roc back with a few extra ponies to play with and one or two other little extras.
