I was towed out by a nice chap in a Rangie today. Made my car look pathetic.
Was it a red one? in the vicinity of the Portsmouth Road?

Apparently the AA, RAC, Police, ambulance service, etc. don't think winter tyres are justified either. In the south of England anyway (the last significant snow here was 7 years ago IIRC).Apparently the winters in the UK are not bad enough to warrant winter tyres, or so I'm told every time to tell anyone how good they are!

I think it comes down to the fact that we know our cars are crap in the snow and its just bad luck but most people with 4x4's think their cars are uncrashable.

The solution to many problems...especially today.
But work so much better if everybody has them...
Don't know what all the fuss is about. I saw even a motorcyclist making excellent progress down the A153 late this afternoon.
Ouch! You have my sympathy - the same scenario was running through my mind last night with the possible write off due to the age of the car as a bonus. CE is happily under a blanket of snow in the drive - glad its not parked on the street from what I've seen this morning..
Re the knock it into neutral tip - it really works. Last night I spent most of my short trip home rolling downhill in neutral, in gear and with brakes, the front locks and the nose of the car follows the camber towards the kerb/parked car/ lamppost etc...
RWD, a big engine and no ASR, ESP made for a fun journey. Glad it was short.
