Please tell me that car isn't missing chains on the driven wheels! :eek:
We've got a dump of snow forecast for tomorrow and into Saturday. I'm hoping it's as bad/good as is being forecast :D
I hope I can fly back home on Friday :s
although it is nice to be by the sunny seaside and work outside in short sleeves in Winter :bandit:

Daniel: Thanks boss :p :

Daniel: Hello boss. I can't come to the office today due to the weather.
Boss: Hello Daniel.. what's the problem?
Daniel: I don't have winter tyres, but I have installed chains, but I still can't seem to drive in the snow.
Boss: Ohh.. I see. Did you install the chains on the drive wheels?.
Daniel: Doh!
Boss: See you at work.
Well a friend rang me today,his mate wants some 225x50x17 winter tyres(for his Audi A6)but nobody round here has any.Mytyres on the net has ,them advertised,but by phone admit,they are struggling,and lots of the advertised tyres are not available.Drivers seem to be in panic to buy winter tyres,and in some areas there is a shortage of available tyres to be had
Thinking about it, now in Germany you have to have winter tyres after a specific point. Where do the "summer" tyres go when it's winter and the winter ones when it's summer?
I would suggest in most areas that there is little or no stock. Apparently the number of people regularly swapping wheels over is 2% so even if only 3% of people are now fitting them this is a 50% increase in demand.Quote:

I reckon you could buy the Panda, insure, tax, maintain and run it and still be better off!
I quite fancy a 4x4 Panda and I'm going to do my best to convince Caroline that we need one :p
