Check Mr. Green I called Misery as I had left my manual at home and it was constantly binging at me Rolling with laughter

Funny thing was, 5 mins before this happened, it kept saying driver intervention as I WAS actually using the ACC due to the reduced visibility - I started swearing at it as I had done nothing.......the wonders of microchips eh Mr. Green Thumbs Up L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Yep I had that on the way home. Initial thoughts were something else has gone kaput, until I got home and realised that the front of the car was one big block of snow. Still at least the fog lamps didn't get covered or perhaps they are hotter than the headlamps so the snow didn't stick.

What really amazed me was that I had to follow some chap on his motorbike. There I was with my heated seats on wondering how long before he was going to be on his bottom Rolling with laughter TDV6 - gone

Have to agree with VA here... I haven't seen a bit of it either and I'm only a bit south of him.
