That bloke has done quite a few useful videos.

Another favourite of mine is the one where he compares the PS4 and the PS4S which was a test long overdue. The results were quite surprising as the PS4 is only really 'worse' under heavy use like on track. Most of the time it provides similar grip levels to the PS4S.

It’ll be the Alfa or Vokls.

Definitely won’t be the Zed as it’ll be off road for some long-time-coming TLC.

I have a fine matching set of Grivel Crampons and Ice axe. No problem with grip, even on black ice. :D :wink:

I'll be using a Porsche Cayenne Turbo fitted with brand new Vredestein Quatrac 5 275/40 R20 tyres as my 'winter wheels' but will also keep the Series 4 Coupe taxed / insured for occasional use.
The 35i will be hibernating in the garage until Spring. :)

Not just winter, but year round when the Zed is not in use. Much of my daily travel involves some really mucky minor roads, farm tracks and occasionally fields, so I got this cheap old thing and it does a fine job of it.

I'll keep on using the Z4 as is, unless the weather turns really bad in which case the wife's Audi A3 will be used.

I'll be using my 3 Series daily, complete with winter tyres!

The Z4 will only be used when there is no snow or salt around.
