In the army during the 70's out in Germany it was perfectly normal to drive in snow like that.
Can't see the problem. I agree with all those saying we've become a nation of wimps....

I find my 75 great in the snow, winter tyres on and I take a perverse delight in maintaning my normal schedule.
On another note i see no probs with winter caravaning, as a man who comes from a family who have been know to take a vintage boat out on the thames on boxing day, moor at our favorite island and BBQ dressed like arctic explorers I grew up thinking this sort of behaviour was normal! Richard |

I've just returned from a club weekend at Perth with my caravan and this morning it was white with snow but cleared before leaving at lunchtime, but I have to admit if I came across snow like that I would have stayed put.

Personaly I think it's a great advert for the cars and a middle finger to the idiots that let this great car company go. Well done whoever you are

This is awesome.
I am sick of living in a Nation where everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, comes to a halt because of an inch or three of snow. It is a Diesel Auto btw, very likely with T/C and then add Snow Mode, brilliant to tackle the White stuff

Agreed, the picture is inspirational and brings a lump to the throat. Maybe, if it looks like severe winters are going to become more common for us, better preparations will be made.
