Snow

Nice of the driver to consider brushing the snow off, for fear of it flying off at 70mph.. sorry 90mph you did say it was a BMW.. car in 5th brain in neutral as usual.

IRRC its an offence in Switzerland to drive your car with snow piled up high.

I didn't know they had an M40 in Switzerland ...

If so it's a frequently comitted one. I live in Geneva (where, incidentally, we have a lot of snow at the moment) and don't recall ever having seen anyone make a serious attempt to get the snow off the roof of their car. Last winter I saw a small car (a Clio or similar) stop at the lights and have a foot deep layer of snow slide forward from the roof and down the windscreen. Most entertaining. I don't think 1.5 inches of snow on a BMW will cause anyone any problems, though.

Just to gloat... we took the Disco skiing (IYSWIM) on Sunday, on roads with about a foot of snow. We had the same on the roof (it's a bit hard to clear it off) but I did clear the bonnet.

coo, you have a disco with skis?

Isn't that known as a Terreno?

That's right - some on the back and some more inside. It seems to manage quite nicely without any underneath.

Roads must be empty most days in the winter then. I suppose very one goes on those efficient never a minute late trains they have over there.

Oh dear - the antis will have that marked down as an accident caused by a 4x4.

Ah, but a proper Land Rover would have some on the roof as well, just in case.

Russia probably :)

We don't have any in Sydney - it's about 28C at the moment and very humid. Snow would be good.
