quattro is good but.....

When lorries get stuck up the hills it is useless!

Got 8 miles in 30 minutes today then lorries were stuck on the hills.

Turned round and went home, as I normally have 48 miles each way to go.

Still, the diff lock was useful for turning round in the middle of the road and not getting stuck.

leaving in about 40 minutes. Roads by us ain't good at all.
12 of my drivers have had to knock it on the head today, which is always good for business

ah well, kettle on, feet up then.

Salt mismanagement at it's best!

Well, they have had to pay for 16 public inquiries into the proposed A303 tunnel under Stone Henge, and the all new Portaloo/Portacabin visitor centre...

Stone Henge hasn't been voted the No1 'most disappointing' visitor attraction for 3 years on the trot for nothing, it takes investment to be that consistently bad.

200 avant + snow+ no grit =

06 30 today

quattro will overcome most situations, but 4x0 is still 0.
Mine hasn't been out at all in this weather

, too much salt and what with all the plebs on the road, it's just not worth it.
Range Rover time then!

The ur is safley undercover avoiding the salt, using the 200 as it's galvenised
