Hi Dale

It is very cold and we do have about 1" of snow. Nothing serious enough to stop production! so nothing to worry about

Hey Dale, Perhaps you could have seen the reports on the North East and Scotland? I live on Newcastle towards the top end of the North East Coast and when I checked the snow in the garden today, with my trusty ruler I measured 11 inches on the lawn.

Looks like we might have a PROPER winter this year!

Cheers,

Alex

No so welcome about the heavy snow I reckon. But any new film of the Armortek's tank maneuvering in snow will be a big welcome!

Yes Alex,

I can testify to plenty of snow up here, being further up from Newcastle....
I live in the Glasgow area, and it's -5C below freezing today.

It might be fun to re-spray my Mid Tiger 1 white with all this snow about!
Would give the local sheep a fright!

Cheers
Ian

My son has just passed his driving test and has consequently got the mania - he bought a twenty year old Land Rover (Ex RM and winterised). Thank goodness he left it at home for us to play with.

We've got about a foot of the white stuff just inland from Newcastle upon Tyne.

My Tiger is still poorly but I'd love to see it wading through the snow some day.

Hi guys
I live just north of Aberdeen and up to now we have had just about 2 foot of snow.

The main roads in the Aberdeen city are clear but the roads where I live in the shire are not so good and as for my village when we see a snow plough we try to get a photo of it if we can as they go so fast, and pin it up in the village shop so the rest of the village know what a snow plough looks like

. LOL
And there's still more to come.

Hello Chaps,

I managed to get home before it got too dark, I only had time for a quick play as it was -6, I cant work the transmitter with gloves on

but I did get Dale some photos of a KT and Panther in the snow

Hi All
Here are my exploits last winter in Oxford, no snow this year so far!
Last year I had ice inside the tracks which jamed the lefthand track and caused a fuse to blow. It was a nightmare recovering the tank with the only way to get it back was to load it onto a sledge and drag it back home on that.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts.....

Snow already on the ground is much better than snowing from the sky ..... for running these big & heavy beast.
