Woul'nt be a sales ploy

Ive got snow socks just incase for my golf. Need to get some for the 75 now.

Dragrad · 24th October 2012, 23:33

So is he a car parts sales man or a weather forecaster

Winters are cold...by definition..... but I doubt that even the MetOffice can predict that far ahead......

Today 18 degrees centigrade - Nearly November

Mind you, my snow socks have been brought out of storage

Well i would agree, except there was another story in the paper about a weather predicting postman who has predicted cold winters for the last 30 yrs. And its colder than it normally is at this time of year on this side of the irish sea

I have my winter tyres fitted, so what ever this winter throws at me I should be ok

Just in time to do some checks and prepare the car for winter. Look at the underbody for signs of rust and treat.

The cold front is on its way and I'm now in a race against time to wire up the heated seats-I shall be stright onto to this after a heavy duty large bowl of porrige. No less than the very temperature of SHMBO's derriere is now at steak; there is no time to loose!
