  Thats what i've got Rowly, nightmare!
  Those snow socks look good Paul I'll investigate more.
  When I drove the artics abroad we had to use snow chains - now they were a nightmare to put on in a blizzard!

  Who cares if you look like Gary the Styliste.....if you can move. From what I've seen on the TV you really need a 4WD ( whatever it is) to get about in Scotland.
  
  I'm only in trouble on the side roads, the main routes are a breeze.
  
  That said I'll take look at Pauls socks...are they for the driver walking home or the van?

  No - but I have now, you'd be better off with a window cleaner and their chamois.

  I'll keep it running over the winter hopefully and see how it goes.
  
  I stay in Alloa, Clackmannanshire about 7 miles from Stirling and 10 miles from Dunblane.
  I am actually English though from Hertfordshire but have lived here in exile for 23 years.

  Small world, i do three days a week on the neighbouring estate, i was speaking to Archie Stirling the other month he came to collect two of his spaniels that had escaped from his kennels. I also know the shepherd who used to farm there he was made redundant and lost his house and everything.
  
  And your right, a woman.

  What made you move to Scotland? A woman no doubt. Good move!
  
  We love it and get there when we can ( Carrbridge in March). Brother used to manage a farm in your area for Diana Riggs ex hubby Archie Stirling years ago.
  
  I'd like to retire to Scotland if funds allow. You cannot beat the scenery and then I won't be bothered about my transit or the weather!

  I took my transit from Glasgow to Arbroath and back today, but did avoid any side roads. This week has been written off but I'll be able to catch up.

  Another cheap and wonderful 4*4 is the Mitsubishi Pajero. Ours is 17 years old but it rocks pulled a 7.5 tonner out of the mud last week and has been towing a flat bed around over the bumps, ice and snow this week, doesn't even notice bad weather.
