Watch that wheel.

(OK, well I couldn't find one of Mr 'On his head' Carlsson in a 2 stroke SAAB)

With Helga having 205 section tyres I decided not to risk her in the snow but this week I have chipped her out and got her moving again. The Rainsports on the front are fine, plenty of traction and steering grip on snow and ice so it's been ok. I even managed the ice covered road to the school today as well and gacve our neighbour (who own a Land Rover of all things) a lift!

The only times I have been stuck is behind others, partly because they are muppets and partly because I carry a spade and I'm helpful. The one woman I did refuse to push up a hill was too busy talking on her phone to concentrate, whilst on the snow with a baby in a seat in the back. So we suggested she went down the hill instead - its not steep.

The 2 hours I was stuck waiting to travel 100 metres home the other week was not fun though. Although a government minister resigned over that one...
