Chris from MNR just wrote me that he can´t get my chassis and body from the painter as it snows too much.
So now it´s delayed another week or 2.
Damn your weather over there.

Snow Britain: 10 facts about snow
: The average snowflake has a top speed of 1.7 metres per second.
:: They are always hexagonal but the majority are not perfectly symmetrical - uneven temperatures, dirt and other factors usually cause them to be
lopsided.
:: Enough snow fell in Britain on February 2 for everyone in the country to make a quarter of a million snowballs each, according to Carol
Vorderman.
:: According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest snowflake on record measured 38cm wide and 20cm thick. It was observed in Montana, USA
in 1887 and described by witnesses as "larger than a milk pan".
:: It is a myth that Eskimos have 100 different words for 'snow'.
:: Chionophobia is a fear of snow.
:: The world's largest snowman was actually a snowwoman. Residents of Bethel, Maine built the 122 ft giant in 2008, giving her 30 ft spruce
trees for arms and skis for eyelashes.
:: Around 12 per cent of the Earth's land surface is covered in permanent snow and ice.
:: Japanese scientists have developed a snow-eating robot, fitted with GPS, which shovels snow from the drive and compacts it into ice bricks.
And the fact that no one can argue is that Britain is useless at dealing with it even when we only get a slight dusting of the stuff..........

I've got enough piled on my front lawn to cover all of England I think. You're all welcome to come and get it anytime.
