I wouldn't mind getting a sub £100 camera in the sales. My ancient 4MB camera is on its last legs.

Originally posted by RichardCranium View PostYou reminded me. For years I wanted a Scimitar Scorpion.
The model I wanted could do 60 MPH on the road; all models could do at least 30 MPH on the rough. Handy for when the motorway is chocker: just drive along the embankment.
Built-in portaloo and kettle. Handy for 'emergencies'. A gun big enough to deal with traffic wardens or tow-trucks. Fits into a parking space ... even if there is already a car there. Perfect for commuting into London.
As for 4" of snow ...

Well, there was the time I drove the wrong way out of a car park into a snow filled ditch thinking it was the road and had to find someone with a tractor to tow me out but that's another story.
You get a mixture of treated and untreated roads. You cannot drive a car fitted with snowchains on a road without snow on it (it is illegal) and you'll find the council have cleared some roads and left other completely snow covered.

Originally posted by Paddy View PostMy 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
