Do PH'ers get snowed on more than average?

[oyster]

I ask because it seems a day can't pass without another 'what car' thread that requires a vehicle to cope with snow.

Yes there are some parts of the UK that have some snow in the winter but hardly anyone lives there.

Is it just a desire to have the biggest and best boys' toy? If so then that's great, but why not say that? Why come up with some bull about snow?

[kentmotorcompany]

Winter tyres, that's the answer.

Now if only I could find some information about them?

You're excused. Now go back to your arctic wasteland

Less, I'd imagine, because a huge proportion of them live in London.

Was it this thread that annoyed you?

You may take the piss but its going to be +3 in my area tonight and I have no Winter tyres, I'm pretty worried about driving Home tonight if I'm honest.

Buy a thousand tins of soup, set up camp where you are, and collect fire wood!

PH'ers have this strange affection for RWD, so anything less than tropical conditions tends to cause consternation.

It's for when it's at the Alpine chalet.

I think a more likely reason is people used to post what 4x4 threads on the grounds they fancied a 4x4 for whatever reason. However, they then got slated for daring to make such a choice whilst not living in the Swiss Alps. Therefore now whenever someone wants to by a 4x4 they avoid this by adding a hint of extreme weather conditions where they live......
