    You really must be a millionaire if you buy a 4x4 just because there's a little snow that will be gone by Saturday lunch time.

    I pondered the benefits of a 4x4 in this weather but came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t get anywhere any quicker as I’d still get stuck behind a Ford Ka as it struggles on every incline, what I could be driving would be irrelevant.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      Wouldn't you be better off using your helicopter, or Learjet for longer journeys, thus avoiding both snow and plebs?

        Best car I ever had in the snow was a Fiat Panda
        OP wanted 7 seats... Best car in snow I found to be a 2CV. But yes, a 4x4 Fiat Panda is up there too.

            I've mostly been using my new bicycle in the snow this season.

            Which is nice.

              But when it comes down to it, most people aren't capable without training, so just get some decent snow tyres, it'll improve you with plenty quickness and much cheapness.

                      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”
