When my 4x4 was actually driveable a couple of days back, an LDV coal delivery pick-up got stuck sideways trying to turn round on our road, which was a sheet of ice.
I managed to pull him completely round so he was facing in the right direction and get going.
This with road tyres (although not low profiles) and the assistance of a low ratio box.
Well my brother last week when it was bad further south was doing voluntary work by going out to places normal cars couldn't get to, so that elderly etc could make hospital appointments they had waited months for.
Was the first time he had ever really used the car in anger, but normally it wouldn't be used off-road.
He just saw an appeal on the news and called the helpline.
@etchacan - what tyres do you have on there? I just got a Disco 4 and I love it, but I think I need some different tyres for winter.
People across the road have an X5 and one of those tall golf/suv types, dropped their kids of at school the other day in my trusty Primera!!They couldn't get of their drives, but their again they didn't make any attempt to clear snow/ice either
The golf thing is even parked with the front wheels over the crest of their drive so it can get out.
Really what is the point in these vehicles
Still miss my Disco though
Blimey - the swear avoidance thing has got a bit heavy handed.
Clubber - of course I wasn't being serious you tool (oooh hang on - another ban for saying "tool?")!
Just before the snow really hit:
It's been superb in these conditions. Starting to miss the BM a bit though - not been moved for over two weeks!
Now I've proof read my post and there appears to be NO swearing.

However, you have made a comment on forum moderation...
Don't worry, we'll keep your seat warm 
I'll make another - posts have been closed and people banned for very very lame reason recently.
I have a strong suspicion as to why this is happening. Heavy handed moderation ruins forums.
End of.

Oooh! Do tell!
Is it to prevent offensive language on the forum perhaps?
It is happening because it's their forum. If you don't like it you can go elsewhere.
I personally like the stricter approach and long may it continue. As I've said before if you feel the need to type swearwords then you should be learning some new words to express yourself properly.
SM - interesting though that so many people weren't sure if you were being serious or not though, isn't it...
Clubber - ermm not really.
