My winter tyres are working well,

The new wheels and tyres I just fitted to my 110 are working well in the winter weather

Bonus point if you can identify the bit of Motorway

No, Northbound, they closed it just after I went through

They have to close m/ways now because of the amount of people who drive through winter on summer tyres! :lol::lol:

50/50 chance I guess...looked like you were going downhill

We were in Germany in snow far worse than the above (whole motorway looked like the extreme right hand side of Blobcat's photo) - Volvo V70 on Quadraxers. Like driving on tarmac.

Worst bit was changing lanes if the snow had rutted - the crrrrruuuunnnnccccchhhhh! and steering kick was a little unnerving but it never came unstuck.

Did you know that my cat, Fat Charlie, is nicknamed "Blobcat"? I reckon if I shaved him he'd look like Jabba the Hutt.

I went to pull out of a side road to a bypass, and there came a little gap, I pressed the go pedal and the car did not move, so I had to wait for the next gap and try a little more gently, the road were wet but plus 10c

No I didn't, if you click on my user name you can see "Chartreuse" who was very affectionately called Blobcat which is wher I got the inspiration for my forum name. It's kind of stuck with me now and BL08 CAT is on my Smart

Very, and the boxed make very good kneeling pads once empty

Does your car not have a LSD?
Mine has the electronic equivalent that brakes the spinning wheel which helps a bit.

It was a known danger spot, and I did not look at the dash, sure the triangle comes up up at the slightest wheel slop or spin.
