Indeed, might try and get away without a new light to boot!

Hope you can get sorted without losing an arm and a leg 👍
+1. That’s a complete bummer Neil, sorry to see you’ve been so unlucky to have that happen.

Saturday saw a scattering of snow, Sunday it was 4 inches deep and icy.
I don't have winter tyres, just 21 inch zeros.
The Macan was fantastic both days, was really impressed.
We were staying in the Langdale hotel. Over 8 inches fell in places and road getting to Elterwater was completely blocked. Nothing in or out. Abandoned cars everywhere.

Never seen snow come down like that for 20+ years. We ended up having to spend another night. Luckily the road was cleared and gritted so we could get out today.

They started running out of draught beer last night :lol:

But yes, spectacular part of the Lakes and a few nice pubs in easy walking distance.

If you had paid for a proper colour it would have hurt
