Yes I'm rebuilding my engine and trying to spray paint (well waiting patiently for it to get warmer) in the cold. Not ideal but there you go.

A neighbour spent 4 hours yesterday driving 11 kilometers home as the highway was blocked for about 10 kilometers... there are some benefits not having a car that works!

Back in Scotland: The biggest snowfall since 1933 over the last 3 days
Edinburgh Airport closed since Sunday, no flights in or out. I've just spoken with a friend and he told me that all the schools are closed as well. Today Forth Road Bridge (see Google) was closed between 5.30 AM and 3PM resulting total chaos on M90 (main road north of Edinburgh) Some drivers have been stuck in their cars from 6am till 3 pm with no way out.
In a few words, real nightmare.
Few pictures he shared with me. Enjoy
