we had our first flurry of snow this morning. Lasted about 15 minutes!

So far, it is the first time in 6 weeks that the weather has dropped cold enough for my Winter Tyres to be of any benefit whatsoever!!

damn i need to move somewhere colder! damn that gulf stream, mud is all we'll get here.

coxy, my winter tyres have only done about 50 miles , tarmac just about cold enough now to turn them from jelly into rubber!

i might go a suicide drive into the hills just to test them out, did that by accident on saturday night in the iveco the weight of the thing will only do so much to cut through the crap then it becomes a three ton sledge very quickly..
