Only in Scotland

Post by knoxvillain »

Drove up to Aberdeen on Wednesday afternoon. Snow got quite bad north of Dundee. Almost got stuck a couple of times.

Drove home on Thursday afternoon, roads clear, had hood down for about 40 miles. What a contrast :)

First time out in the Zed in reasonable snow. Didn't fair as bad as I thought it might. Not a nice experience though. Think next year ill look at winter tyres and maybe a couple of sandbags for the boot. Lol

Snowmobile would give you sound mobility and open air driving too... :D

If you miss Scotland that much I'd move back.
