United Kingdom 2012 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Indus Silver

Drove through the snow in Buxton this morning, glad I kept the winter tyres on (I'm running them into the ground anyway so makes no difference). Then got pelted with huge hailstones up in Wilmslow, must check for any damage later when its not chucking it down.

Side note, winter tyres in 21c heat is like driving being glued to the road. Although it does feel like I can hear them being ripped to pieces Laughing
