That may be so, but not all over Europe. The ones in Germany and Austria are just a more rugged tread pattern.

But then anyone who saw the Top Gear thing from Finland knows how seriously they take their driving.

I'm going to book tomorrow off, I'm not even going to contemplate going out in it again.

I'll go for a walk in the woods and pretend I'm in the Stalingrad pocket.

If you had some exploding trees it'd be like Bastogne.

No, WW2.

Bastogne, yes that would be better. I will be German though and I'll turn the tide of the war.

Ash, in some countries winter tyres are comprhensive in winter months ( usually from november till march). Studded tyres are optional however they are baned in soe countries are as the studs damage roads when there is no snow or ice.

Ollie have you read the Rise and Fall of the Third Reich? I'm tempted to buy it as I've been told it's brilliant, but would like a Nazi's point of view.
