Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

I quite agree, there's no need to pay for winter tyres, you can use summer tyres with this useful tip:

Ballet shoes are really uncomfortable without snowsocks Wink

Would you advise drywall screws for wet cold weather or would they not pass inspecting by the French authorities?

Personally I'd rather ski in France than drive on winter tyres, and as for chains...

Is your Lamborghini a front wheel drive? If so it may be better to reverse up the mountain in order to get better traction Wink

You need proper winter tyres, friend. These served just fine during my last season.

@Harry Flashman, at2s? Good job you've got a Defender to make up for the lack of grip with them.

Actually some sizes of that tyre were made in the proper compound with the winter sipes, so have the mountain/snowflake symbol. They were absolutely great in the snow and ice of the winter alps. Shame the Defender, much as I loved it, wasn't so good! If I do it again, I shall take something less cool, but more modern...

Haha! It was! And the chequer plate was black - but I get your point. One of Twisted's finest creations. Had lovely engine upgrades, big brakes, and all that stuff. Don't tell me - you like your Defenders in farmer spec, still with the "county 110" decals on the sides, and with plywood seats.

Despite all this it had a heater that didn't do anything, door seals that mean you got cold elbows when driving, and door locks that iced up at every opportunity. Not to mention the (upgraded) starter motor packing up halfway through the season.Some sort of Subara Legacy would have been a better winter car.
