Unfortunately, this autum/winter is NOT raining is Spain at all. Today, they had 25º in Malaga... people swimming in the sea :cry: . Quite cold but very dry in the central plateau of the Iberian Peninsula. So no point taking out your GWagen for a spin, because with this dryness and the grip that comes with it there's not much of a difference of driving on- and off- the road....

But we've been promised some rain and a lot of snow this winter.... so a change of boots was mandatory..... got an insultingly cheap 10k miles used set of BFG M/T 235/85R16 and had them fitted today. So rain here I come!

Yeah... you wait! :lol:

And GWagens, by definition, do not leak oil... unless you have a Land Rover and you haven't noticed it yet! :lol:

Jesus, is there anything you want brought from the UK? Cold weather, expensive fuel or M25 traffic jam?
See you in 2 weeks :D
