Worst winter for decades: Record-breaking snow predicted for November | UK | News | Daily Express

i am a smug baskit:yesnod::grin:
obviously carry on as normal for all landy owners

Every van I have had is utterly useless in any amount of snow. Luckily we don't get much at all here in Plymouth.

Yawn look at me I've got a rust box why not just wipe your clocks out and show off as well

It's a RWD van and it has the usual traction control, so no probably not. But it's driven by a Scotsman who can! There's no way I will allow my company to miss a day of productivity due to snow!!

The roads here are well gritted and salted. A landrover would be as good as a chocolate hammer.

The only problem is trying to cope with the loads of people down here in England who can't seem to drive in snow. They all seem to block roads and panic. They are the real menace tbh.

Do you think it'll start then? Snow tyres in readiness in the garage.

 

[REDSAW]

just reminded me..
better get some snow tyres.lol

 

[cr0ft]

Never needed them in the UK. A simple plumber's blowtorch to melt enough snow around the tyre to get started is all that's needed.

Would most likely need them for mountain areas though.

My old Mazda e2000 used to be a beast in the snow. Haven't tried the renault traffic yet but I'm sure it'll disappoint.

the other point to this thread other than to **** everyone off is to get you lot to order snow chains or get winter tyres in so you can cope

Was a very bad judgement tbh I drove though Ogmore vale looked ok got to the bottom of the mountain ahhhh b ok very wrong the snow was to the van bumper had to reverse down because it was so bad very scary

Taking out the land rover brigade (fair play to you) it's not just the van can cope but also your driving style.

good point 4x4,s will cope with snow but they will also slide out of control if your not skilled

You actually expected an expert to start in the cold? Got to love your optimism.
