We even had a bit of snow in the South East...

I sent out the snow ploughs to sort it out...

The white ones are only 5 months old and have never seen snow before..

i used to go to school in northern germany ( wilhelmshaven ) , and we used to have snow sometimes up to our knees ( ok i was 14 ) ,the sea used to freeze over too

, but the country didnt come to a standstill , people just got on with it ........must admit i find some of the weather warnings / reports / scaremongering quite funny ...... also pictures of some drivers revving the nuts out of their engines and wheels spinning etc .

Why the tow rope at the front?
You are not expecting to get stuck are you?

If anything, you want that rope at the back to assist LR 's and other vehicles to get up the hills.

Be careful with that tow rope mate , looks like a little 2000kg one and a cast hook

Does it have a rating tag on it?

as makitfit says, far too light for a T2 unless you only intend reversing with a go kart on the end of it, oh and where is the snow? I cannot see any, only a dusting! Rick
