need help with weather reports.

Hi all

I am doing a road trip from Leeds to Aberdeen next wednesday 13th in my new X1/9 purchase. I know its not the best time of year to be doing this and need some help with real time look out your window weather reports

I hope to leave Leeds then do the A1 to Edinburgh then up to Aberdeen.

As of today I have about 2 1/2 feet of snow in the drive so I hope the snow backs of a bit soon.

If people would let me know on tuesday what the weather is doing on my route that would be helpful.


Cheers

Guy

Thanks Sharon,

Well if I get to Leeds, get the car, then get stuck 60 miles east of Leeds then do you have a sofa I can crash on??

I will bring the wine

Cheers

Perhaps buy a set of these for your kit bag along with the usual tools/spares!

Good Luck

Well made it home with no troubles at all. 7hours door to door

A bit of snow in Leeds but once onto the A1 didnt see anymore till I got to Banchory.

The car went very well considering this is the longest trip its done in 11 years. Did more miles yestarday than it usually dose in a year.

The only problems were a blower fan that packed in just outside Leeds. passanger wiper arm vannished at the boarder and dipped beam that had a mind of its own.

Just lack of use and bad connections... hopefuly

Will get some photos up soon as I have given it a clean.

Cheers

Guy
