Just had an email from a Place in Abingdon that does some High Voltage testing for me saying the equipment is ready to pick up, normally I would do it as I drive past on my way home, but not today me thinks

Well I'm at work in Abingdon and although the town rds are ok I've heard the A34 to and from Didcot is closed. The water left yesterday has turned to ice with snow on top= ice rink and lots of cars have been spinning out.
My village is 10 miles away with 2 miles of untreated rd. Great fun in my TT with all 4 wheels spinning and the traction light flashing.....fun over now as on route in the engine management light has come on again. Third time this yr!
Think I'll leave picking up the 748 with its new tires on tomorrow...

Thanks for your help everyone. It's hard to find a balance here because she tries it on at every opportunity to stop me from seeing them and generally being a pain in the a .... but the kids, and their safety, have to come first so what I'm hearing so far is that it's not really a good idea to try it tomorrow.

Could you please keep this thread updated during the afternoon/evening though? Especially you Nev748 as you're actually in Abingdon. They are literally 5 minutes walk from the town centre.

Thanks again.

With the lack of salt available its going to be down to overnight conditions; if it freezes again it will be a right mess.
