Got to see what must have happened today. Almost straight flat road with a slight right-hand bend. On the bend, there is now a snapped telegraph pole in three pieces and the beamer is parked up a 100yards further on. Suspect plenty of speed must have been involved. Cars stuck all over the place going up on to the moors today. Gave a lift to one chap who is going to need a hoist to get his car out.

Did anyone mention the need for winter/all season tyres? ? 

 

They make such a difference in winter. I'd only ever run all seasons on any vehicle I drove. I feel much better for my wife driving my kids around in these conditions on appropriate tyres too.

I'm toppers with man flu - glad it was cancelled!  The chuntering was a symptom of all the abandoned cars in the way!

 

I care not a jot about your girls cold, I've got a hot date to attend.

Your preaching to the converted J. We have them on all year round on the Volvo. Better in the wet and the snow and ice. Doubt they would have helped Mr BMW as you can't teach stupid.

I hope you fare better than the other fella!  ?

I love my Continental winter tyres, makes driving on smooth white hardpacked snow not much different to driving on a wet road, quite astounding the grip they get.

Also very good in slush, but really need plenty of tread for that.

Owt below about 3.0mm I then drive them done over a summer, or used to when I did the miles.

mthP.S.

I read an account on another forum, where a savvy BMW driver had had winter tyres fitted, and had occasion to pass a spun-out LR/RR(the LR/RR was on smooth  tyres to be honest) on a hill.

 

As they say, quite priceless!

Whether he did anything wrong or not...

 

Anyway, It's into town on a Friday night for the first time in years. 20:30, but I'm going to slip in early for a loosener.

It's been a long time since I've been on a date Ratty. And it's been sprung on me, I was miles away at the cash machine yesterday, got my card and walk in the shop without collecting my money, realised what I'd done and turned round and there was this lovely lady following me into the shop with my money, the rest is...
