you lucky bastards i didn't get the day off just finished now .the roads are interesting in a l300.

not to keen to drive tomorrow so i stopped past the bottle shop

Same here. Just sat at work staring out the window all day after our management left but the receptionist rang the Exec's and they said no :'(

Roads were surprisingly good in the RWD V8. Getting it out in the morning once this lot freezes over might be fun though. Have cleared half the street in preparation.

Chains are on truck and hubs locked in.

In preparation for driving on ice in the morning.

Like a bawse.

your kidding me just got message from boss ..... go from rangiora to kaipoi then to pegusus.

the roads are completely ice man i bet i wont even get the van out lol

[thorpy]

I just tried to get my van out and it just sat there spinning on the ice. Called the boss to come get me in his 4wd and got told to stay home

[ODB]

well got to truck this morning and couldnt get doors open lol.

Was encased in a few cms of ice.

Finally got in and ran it for like 30 mins and warmed it up then took chains off and put baby seat back in. Mrs should be right to drive to work in it.

Fark those roads are some of the worst I have ever seen. Main roads good but any side road is icy and treacherous as!

The very next day

I reckon last years first dump was heaps worse than today. Apart from it taking 40mins to get the doors open and the car warmed up, barely had any issues getting out of our street where I nearly ripped the exhaust of last year due to the tall icy buildup in the centre of the road (and my car is RWD this year, wasn't sure if I was going to regret selling the Subaru but heated leather is so nice and comfy.....)

[ODB]

size of dump yes.

But the fact it froze all over road during the night i thought was worse today?
