OK our mini excavator got to work hard as the sow kept comming down and down, These little vehicles are excelent in the snow and their rubber tracks can cover just about anything at any low temperature. But we must have given it too much work as eventually these rubber tracks snapped and this little excavator was going no where. So thanks to the internet and in a few days, minimax parts had sent out a new rubber track set. In fact I want to mention minimax rubber tracks a bit more, because when everything stopped, somehow their delivery got through and it was only for this delivery we were able to clear the garage yards and forecourt and get our recovery vehicle out. Each morning, when someone got in. the first job (after a cup of tea) was to get in to the little unit and move the sow to an area, which normally has parked cars on, but there were not many thereat this time. I know most of you do not have a mini excavator, well there are worse things ot buy with our British winter

I can’t believe how lomg it has been since the last post, but like most of the people in the UK we have been caught up with Christmas, snow and more snow. As far as roadside assistance is concerned, you would think that snow would bring more call outs and more money, well you are half right. The emergency callls came in strong and fast, but we also had our issues with the snow. In fact we also broke down and got stuck just like everyone else. We also need staff to drive these recovery vehicles and if they can’t get to work, the vehicles designed to get you going, find them selves under inches of snow within our yard. Tes the garage was also slow, as no one could get their cars in, and in fact were not that bothered , knowing it was Christmas and they were not going anywhere soon. Thnk god for our mini excavator that cleared the snow, but there is a story there too, to be told on another blog post. Well happy new auto year for 2010 and hopefully, we will have more to talk about soon.
