Out playing with a mate

Always take a Range Rover for when you get carried away and get stuck
When the snow started to fall last week

Getting a taste for it, got no recent ones from last weekend, but managed to get and hold a lot more angle on empty roads

I'm not that brave. My rear seats are filthy because of carrying wet tyres.

my snow warrior!
took these when i got home from a night shift this morning at 8.
got the autosocks fitted, they are amazing! when i fitted them there were no issues with traction whatsoever! £67 well spent!

managed to get back on my drive which when it snows is usually impossible without a lot of digging!

had some ground clearance issues tho. was dragging its belly in the snow!

Last winter of my '84. Don't have much snow to account for here. Been mostly just thick frost/light icing here in the morning.
