Snow and tyres and winter tyres

I think you need to stop slagging off other people's choices of car.  Banter between people who are already friends is one thing, but persistent, knee-jerk denigration of perfectly valid choices (like diesel, or DSG, or 5-door, or 17" wheels) can indeed come over as pretty unfriendly.

Or "idiots" that don't have winter tyres  :shocked:

That's a bit harsh, dear. :wink:

Where the hell are mine. Nearly summer. :rolleyes:

Show me where I slagged off anyone on the forum for not having winter tyres!

Idiots driving in front of me and getting stuck, is another story....  :laugh:

And look at the stick I took from B_n for only having two of the bloody things!

I agree with you completely. You've suffered enough on this earth. So have we from B_n. You will go to heavenly Bayreuth.  :smiley:

Two of my 'bloody things' are in Oldbury and the other two in Holland. :rolleyes:

Wow,  it was said with tongue in cheek but you often referred to those "idiots" without winter tyres which according to the recent poll on here is the vast majority of forum users  :laugh:

I lived in Susex.  I only remember one hairy moment, and that was in my old Fiesta on the South Downs in about 1991 or 1992.  It hardly ever snowed, and if it did it wasn't thick.  And it was all gone from the roads within 24 hours.

Worth keeping a pair of AutoSocks just in case of a heavy fall when you really need to get out, but winter tyres wouldn't have crossed my mind.

Here, it's a bit different.



If you get my general "drift".   :laugh:

Dear God. Well shave my legs and call me grandma. You really need winters. That picture has sent a cold chill down my spine. :shocked:
