With proper winter tyres fitted you hardly notice the difference in those conditions Thumbs Up However its a pity all the other punters dont have 4wd or/and winter tyres Rolling Eyes
It has to be polished ice to notice the difference and then its only studded tyres that really help. 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Its not always as much fun as it looks.
On the worst days - clear the driveway to get the car out the garage. Go indoors to say goodby and pick up the bits you need - go out and the f Censored g driveway is blocked again cos the snow plough has just been past and blocked you in again Laughing 2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.
