I used to live in Blackburn, which was full of really steep hills, thats hard work in the snow.. But living in York is great, it's all flat, RW drive is top fun, though reckon i might save up and get a Scooby sometime this year, the last 3 winters have got progressively worse.. maybe a sign of things to come?..
