Haha, seen this a few times, does remind me of an event tho, Stopped at a pub one winter for a meal, Red Lion at Blakey Ridge, was snowing lightly as we arrived, by the time we left it was a white out, I could barely see the road and actually veered off it a couple of times. Anyway at 5 mph, my headlights pick this figure out walking towards us, assuming he had driven off road or something I stopped and asked if he needed help, he said no, I'm going to the pub, my odo said 3.5 miles since we left........

There's no such thing as bad weather - just the wrong clothes. Billy Connolly.
Is there a storm on today? Hadn't noticed. Big coat, really, bloo*y jessie's in England.

Well.....moral of the story is the standard ground anchors that come with the polytunnels with additional bricks to add further weight wasn't enough to wreck one of my polytunnnels! Oh and also wreck the Alfa Spider that was underneath at the time!!
I think I might need a 2k respray.

Off to (hopefully) see the Northern Lights in an hour.
Apparently there's a serious storm due in Iceland this evening/tomorrow. Be interesting to see what the comparison between what the UK and Iceland think are bad storms.

Apologies. Know the feeling well, one warm Friday evening I caught the front wing arch of the Audi on the drive gate, whilst reversing in after a day at work.
Just about to enjoy the weekend, nearly £400 to fix and repaint the front wing, all due to a lack of concentration for 3 seconds, too little to claim before the insurance excess kicked in.

No apology needed. I feel for us both. I feel it is going to be a fair few quid more than 400 on this one though.
It could have been worse I guess. Luckily it had a trickle charger & dehumidifier in there. I hadn't permanently wired it in underground etc. with permanent cabling so had run a 20m extension reel out from the workshop. That was the only think stopping it taking off and doing more damage. It was acting as a tethering rope!
That pic was after I had sharply ripped all the outer cover off as it was trying to take off so wanted the cover off asap!!
Got plenty of hawthorn bushes there and plenty of thorns in my leg and backside climbing up to get it off. What fun

Just logged back in and taking stock of some the damage sustained today. Particular @rockits. No one likes to see that especially a nice Spyder. If my earlier post has been the source of displeasure to anyone I'll gladly delete it??
