Re: Do you drive something else in the winter ?
all the time unless it snows , then I go hire something sensible because 340 bhp through rear wheels makes it sort of undriveable in those conditions , last time I had a toyota aygo for a week it didnt cost much and coped very well
Valencia Orange 35is now gone but well remembered now Porsche Boxster GTS

Of those that have 'alternative' cars ... how many use winter tyres if any on their other car ?

My Z4 will only come outside when weather is good. But this can be all trough the year. Tax and insurance is paid for the year, so why not keep it moving. Daily drive is a company car (Skoda Superb Diesel), the Z4 is hobby.

If we get a light covering of snow I don't go anywhere.

Otherwise Z4 35iS in Runflats for me
ps Wife's got a 4x4 Diesel Mokka if I really get stuck - but someone might see me

Disco3 with Vredestein Wintracs - If it gets stuck its because somebody is in front who thinks they can re write physics.

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

Re: Do you drive something else in the winter ?
Although I don't SORN the Z, it hardly gets used if there is snow (or rain) about, rely on a Series 1 fitted with 16" non RF winter tyres from Nov to March. Wouldn't be able to get out of the driveway if there's snow on the normal 17" RF wheels. Hopefully put the winters on tomorrow if the weathers fine.
