without being critical of any aspect of snow and driving, It always amuses me when the news is dominated by snow reports,Its winter and it sometimes snows
.Back in my Youth in the sixties ,most car owners/drivers just got on with it .You either drove in it or stayed at home.I used to deliberately go out in it as often as possible .Found it great fun and a challenge .Most of my driving friends had winter wheels with Town and Country Tyres which we fitted when there was snow about.
Mind living up in the artic North east we got used to it sooner than the tropical south'
.Of course there were a lot fewer cars about on the roads back then so four wheel drifting round bends with full opposite lock in a rear wheel drive Austin 8 wasn't quite so dangerous as now.
Then along came the Fwd mini They were boring ,had to pull handbrake on to get the same buzz
Happy days.
