Do people still believe these predictions even though its the same every year?!

The amount of folk i see on my facebook pages wanting cheap 4x4's with an mot till april, is unbelievable... They are buying anything from Jimneys to shoguns and landies...


Numpties

We will get the same as usual, some frost and a half day of (wet shitty) snow
 
Well, i don't buy into that bullshit, but we're deep into October and the temperatures are still a bit unseasonably warm. If you're looking purely in terms of temperatures and the averages over time, for that to get close to "average", it would have to become colder than usual to balance it out. So whilst the scare stories are laughable, there is some basic logic behind their guesswork that they can fall back on to support their half arsed theories.

I'm half on the lookout for a 4x4 myself, but it's not totally to do with weather (bar me not wanting to ground the cinq in the works car park on a cold, wet morning) and everything to do with work and that type of thing ticking the most boxes :)
 
The only accurate prediction you can make about the weather is that it's almost impossible to predict accurately. What will be will be

However, if we do get another winter like the ones we got in 2009/2010 then it's not a 4 wheel drive I'd want but a small, cheap car with skinny tyres. Able to get in and out of gaps in traffic, copes nicely with snow and light enough to be pushed out should you get stuck. However, as the car I have in mind refuses to pass it's MOT (incidentally should I be worried about the current threads in classified and the fact I got a text from the strangely silent one?) I'll stick with winter wheels on the punto instead.

Small, skinny wheels and light...

If I was going 4x4 it'd probably be a panda ;)
 
Oh... there was a panda 4x4 popped up on my facebook.... canna mind what page it was...

Oh yeah, alternative 4x4 or something....

Eem.... pass..

Are they good?

Basically standard 80's/90's panda 4x4 with special trim.

Put it this way, Austrian police used them in the alps because they could easily get places others couldn't.

Only thing they really lack is torque.

Getting super rare now, worth a lot for a minter
