Pretty limp show making drama's of fairly minor crisis, typical of it's type BUT featuring an RAC man using Snow Socks to extricate a car stuck on ice, and then his own van. Either great product placement or perhaps I should be buying a set (snow forecast for Sat night!) JT Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
Gone - A great 57 Plate, Auto SE, Bought Feb 2009, Roof Rails and Mudflaps added on purchase. Blue colour, anything but drug dealer black.....

Won't need them for the freelander!! I watched it to, maybe the bumbling idiots in the ploughs need to chain up when going over the mountains!

No I’m the real JT

Excuse me Manufan, not only are you a very recent member but you also appear to support the wrong team.... As a scouser I have visited Anfield and viewed the 5 Cups.......
Hopefully you will get a real dump of snow this weekend so you can enjoy your FR2. Down here in London we might get a few centimeteres which will bring the city to a halt.......

Not only a Red Devil but a Red Baron as well with that failing star - whoops sorry - should have typed flying star. Nope wrong again, the Red Baron was shot down so it should be f*ck*d star.

At least Red Baron your ground support vehicle can certainly keep its feet firmly on terra firma, and not be "grounded" by inclement weather conditions unlike your Stuttgart strutter.

Okay JT you joined 1 year before me so I guess I have to concede defeat on that one and change my registration numbers. But let’s not go down the trophy cabinet road or I will beat you hands down.
How did a Scouser finish up so far down south? Did you hear that they had better wheels to nick, or was it like Athelstan who was driven out of Derbyshire and had to hide in the Alps

Hey Red Baron - we had a confidentiality clause remember

You promised not to spill the beans on my indiscretion with the vicar's wife and I promised not to tell HMC&E re that side line you do in "imports". So anymore revelations on my fleeing from the tabloids will result in "open disclosure" if you get my drift.

Sorry to interrupt the mutual admiration society.
But just to add a comment about Snow Socks, I bought a set 2 years ago to allow me to use the Jaguar I had then in the snow, despite having them for 18 months I can't actually say if they worked as I needed to jack up the car to get the clearance round the wheel arches to fit them.
Call me a coward but jacking up a car in snow and ice and then putting parts of my body into confined spaces around the car has never struck me as being a very good idea.

Apologies to the forum but Athelstan has just served me with a super injunction

Sorry Manufan, I meant to say 5 EUROPEAN cups......
I am on an extended holiday in the south, prefer the climate down here...... JT Upgraded to an ex demo, 7 mth old, Rimini Red/Ebony Napoli Auto HSE on 28th Jan 2011, added roof rails, mudflaps and side strips.
