Apologies for lack of hyper-link, my browser doesn't appear to be complying.

to be fare,it did better than the rear engined Wright Eclipses around here,all they seem to be doing is creating a lot of wheelspin.The way the transports been disrupted around here,anyone would think UKs never seen snow!

I cannot disagree with you there mate.

You get what you pay for!

Pay for weatherproofed roads and public transport like Switzerland and Austria do and you will get 100% reliability in mid-winter.

Try and get away with doing nothing until it actually snows like we try and get way with, and you get situations like today. Simples.
