There's a Canadian trick to parking on an icy road.
Don't
Park as normal. Get out of the car and use a blow torch to melt the ice and dry the road a couple of feet in front of each wheel. Make sure you make patches big enough for the tyres to rest on. A5 to A4 paper size will do it.
Move the car forward on to the dry patches and park as normal.
If you make the patches for the driven wheels slightly longer you can use that as a runway to break inertia when you set off later.

I genuinely can't belive we're 5 pages deep on this thread :shakehead:
Aye! Joking apart, this would have been binned ages ago in some other forums. I suppose it's harmless but just so stupid......:bang:
... well I learned something ...
There's always the 'unsubscribe' option on individual threads, let it run without you.
Sadly, very difficult to let go, isn't it.:devil:
Tis like that lost filling in a tooth, you know you just can't help sticking your tongue in it although it hurts like hell..
Just as easy to ignore it and never venture in to to be honest but it still doesn't stop the obsurdity of this thread continuing
you either park in gear or not, surely it's just personal preference like what flavour crisps do people prefer.
That reminded me. Mrs Jock came home with "special edition" sausage and tomato sauce flavoured crisps last week - Yum Yum! - and I finished the last packet today. Must ask her to get another pack to avoid withdrawal symptoms!Just as easy to ignore it and never venture in to to be honest but it still doesn't stop the obsurdity of this thread continuing
So many flavours to choose from these days, but truth be told, good old cheese & onion still holds that special taste in my heart....

Far too smelly to eat at work though...
something to do with gears...
Just "fished" the packet out of the bin - don't say I'm not obliging - "Golden Wonder fully flavoured sausage and tomato". Mrs Jock must have been feeling generous that day, she usually only buys supermarket own brands!That sounds like a great flavour. What brand were they please?
I have to agree with you though jimboy, it's very hard to find anything better than cheese and onion! When I was younger I used to really love "shrimp and lemon" Nik Naks. I gave them up many years ago as the then to be future Mrs Jock said they made me smell like a poorly maintained gents loo!!! Been wondering lately if I should revisit, just to see if they were as good as I remember. That is of course if they are still made? What do you think? Should I take the risk?
You've lost me there fella..
Cheese and onion crisps..
and a half arsed attempt at staying near topic..
