What a pain in the backside this is. I had the car booked in this morning to have winter tyres fitted (decided it's worth the expense after last years disasterous attempts to go anywhere) but I can't even get out of the drive. Anyone got any ideas? Traction control on = no movement. Traction control off = no movement.
At least the trams are running. Nothing else seems to be. |

I'm gonna stand around for a while and see lol. The main problem is there is a lip on the edge of the drive. I might try rolling forward a bit and ramming it out. Biggest worry with that is not stopping after and going straight into the opposite wall. Last time I checked our car insurance policy didn't cover acts of lunacy.

You had a year time to thiink about it and now when it's bad again you decide to put them under your car lol. |

While you're stuck, give the local car wreckers a call - you may be able to pick up some cheap spare rims* to mount the snow tyres on.
If conditions are really bad, you may wish to pick up some snow chains. In the meantime, a shovel and some sacking/carpet offcuts will go a long way. *For one car (that hasn't even been used for a year) sets of slicks, wets, knobblies and performance road tyres - all mounted and the wheels averaged 10-15 UK pounds equivalent. The car I am using has a spare set of (free, stock) rims with 048 semi's on them, for track days. |
