Christmas shopping list

One very large, chunky tyred 4x4 with trick diffs and hill descent control.

Anyone here going to switch to a 4x4?

We've had a run of terrible winters and according to the solar experts, we may be entering (another) mini ice age that might last several hundred years.

My priority is comfort and economy, the C5 has performed well in the snow and actually done better than many 4x4s due to the advanced suspension. If I did go for 4x4 for use in the snow it would have to be a trusty Land Rover and not a Chelsea Tractor

Weissenfels Techna Snow Chains

£70, cheaper than pulling that extra drive-train around for 51 weeks of the year with diesel at £1.30+ a litre.

I've got a L200 Mitsubishi Trojan Crew Cab 4x4 with big tyres. We live in a private road on a hill which is never gritted and it's the only way to stop getting snowed in. Wouldn't be without it.

Same here. Very steep untreated roads. My drive is also very steep. Need the traction of 4WD just to make the first 1 mile of any journey.

I wondered why when I moved here everyone has a brand new Range Rover, Q7 or Porsche Cayenne. That and it being where all the footballers live.

Get a 20p rubble bag and half fill it with salt and grit from the blue or yellow bins by the side of the road. A £5 folding shovel and you’re sorted.

I think I'd prefer one of these.

Or what about carrying around some old rope to fashion into some kind of cheap snow chain as when required? Saves buying a £20K car.
