i couldn't even get mine out of the garage if i wanted 2 at the min and if i did the snow on the drive is as deep as the car is high. Mines bad enough in the wet so snow no chance !

Well snow has now gone and yes i did use it to get to work , put a big bit of artificial stone in boot weighed about 30kg kept back and down went very well in deep snow with narrow tyres on , had to make something to put under roof material as its home made and didn't want weight of snow collapsing it , bought myself one of the 12v heaters to keep me warm , but once engine warmed up got plenty off heat from bulkhead.
Overall very nice driving in snow even though over people thought i was mad, only downside was having to wash car every couple of days cos off salt on road , not good washing car when its -8 .
