Syncros and snow Ireland

Post by jebiga41 »

Just got back from a juant up the wicklow mountains about a foot to three foot of snow in places myself and dave got stuck a few times (Dave losing the 4WD, and me due to not having difflocks as seized at the mo) but eventually we all came home with the help of a tricked up landy and some old fashioned dgging and pushing to earn the pub grub :D
