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 :wink:

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! :twisted:

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! :D

Regards,

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. :roll:
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: . 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 :roll: :cry:

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. :D

Enjoy it whilst it lasts.....

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