      Speaking as The Internet, which I am, might I suggest that in future you give the evidence of your own eyes a higher status than something you read on a web site

      Might I further suggest that when it's winter and much of the country has been experiencing snow, it might be sensible to use a vehicle capable of dealing with snow, or at least to not use one that will clearly be rubbish in snow :beatoverheadwithcluestick: - ah, that isn't (yet) a smiley; let's use again

      (FWIW, my twenty-year-old Ford Orion has been getting me from A to any other letter of the alphabet and back again without any problems during the recent spell of inclement weather - you should see if you can find one for sale. Mine isn't.)

          Snow now all gone.
          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            My VW Golf goes anywhere in the snow.

            Anywhere I don't want it to go

            Can't understand it! I had a Mini last time we had heavy snow, I was driving past 4x4's stuck in the snow.

            They are both light front wheel drive vehicles, why the appalling difference?

              Skinny tyres on the mini?

                  Had to abondon my car at the AA HQ car park as Basingstoke came to a standstill yesterday afternoon due to the snow. I managed to walk to the station and get a train to Southampton, but that still took me 4 hours.

                  My wife is still stuck in Bracknell after visiting her mum and dad.

                  Not sure how today will pan out. Managed to get back in the office by train again, but Basingstoke still looks pretty horrendous to drive in.

                  Oh...and where's everyone else? Oh yeah...they're permies....

                      Do you know how to drive in snow/on ice?

                      Serious question.
