Have you lost your job?  :sad:

No, not me...not as far as I know!


But you haven't got a car (ish)  :huh:

No usable car = no work/food.

I'll have you know that we at Carbon acquired a 4x4 for the winter that I only got rid of last week...sodding Bentley Continental Flying Spur 4x4 - that was the first and last I'll have  :grin:

That'll be about as much use as the high spec X5s in the crapweather = zero use.
My old Fabia vRS with winter tyres would go places the goons in their X5s on their 20" 275 wide tyres couldn't go.

So with the same rational, you would not knowingly buy a RWD car that you know will end up beached on the driveway?
Like, say...a BMW with wide rear tyres?
A car that is known to be utterly useless in snow?

Theres no way you should buy a BMW, stick to a 2wd golf they are excellent in the snow.

For the 1 or 2 days a year we get snow I can have a BMW which is better at everything for the othe 363 days of the year. Even if I had a golf gti again I doubt I would take it out in the snow anyway for fear of smashing it into a kerb.

It's all about geography I suppose and I am very lucky.
I don't believe in global warming, sorry.
How are speed bumps legal?
I dislike lorry drivers who block lanes in traffic.
All burglars must die slowly ASAP.

Known also, but without a licence you have no usable car hence in your own words "No usable car = no work/food"

Or I am being padantic  :grin:
