Plenty of options with our driveways so don't normally have to drive over the same part twice, other than the bit where it goes through the wood, and there we don't have so much snow on the ground.
The turning circle at the side of the house can get interesting though!Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

A reasonable amount down here. Was meant to be at rockingham this morning, headed off with plenty of time and couldn’t get there as A45 from j15 was very slow and by the time we made it, it would be time to come home. Turned round, headed home and assisted others on the way 👍

Had to go to work in Wantage this morning - left home at 0500, and got progressively snowier as I drove further towards the hilly bits of the M40.
Got to work, decided it was too snowy to take the trucks out, so headed back.
Carnage on the M40 at Stokenchurch, but Id like to congratulate the 55 plate D3 that overtook me at silly speed, only to hit a berm of snow in the middle of the carrigeway, slew left, just manage to straighten up but not quick enough to avoid kissing the armco with his left hand side...
When he stopped to check the damage, I noticed a Disco 3 sticker in the back window... New gearbox & TC, 3 x front wheel bearings, belts changed, new oil pump, new battery, new rear prop, new front prop, new front diff, front arb refurbed, front cv boot kit, egr blank and BAS software patch, full rear suspension / drivelive rebuild, new front arms, LED trailer light fix, split charge.
Never had a 107, 90 or 127, but have had most of the rest!

Familiar picture with the big broom - had to get mine out earlier to get to church.

the broom was to sweep the snow off the D3 btw; not the means of transport!
p.s How are the Quatrac 5 tyres holding up?Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

@Tony686. Quite a big gun you have in your driveway...
Hope you locked it down so no looney can turn it around and use it against you..
