Where i live in High Wycombe, when i pull out of my road, theres a steep as fuck road to the right, and a steep as fuck road to the left

The main way out of High Wycombe is a stupidly steep 1 mile hill, not looking forward to that in the 182.

Ive been told last year people were just using other cars as brakes. Bouncing off them down the hills.
And the polish were out charging people to get them out of the snow in there 4x4's

The Audi wasn't bad last year.

Hoping the Vredesteins will be half decent in snow.

If the snows anything like bad though i'll be working from home.

Theres no way i'll be going to Bury/Rochdale/Burnley in the snow.

So Scotland first?

Forecasters are shit enough forecasting the weather for tomorrow. I fully expect to get similar amounts of snow again this year

It just turns into a ball ache

Nissan Terranos and stuff like that are still capable in the snow, probably cheaper than a Landrover too!

Where abouts in High Wycombe do you live?

I was hoping to of sold my car and bought a 4wd sports hatch/saloon, but it hasn't happened. My car is useless in the snow on summer tyres.
I really should invest in a winter set.
