I know, but I am VERY protective, when it comes to the W&P/JanSpeed thingie.

I remember when my Green Special, was still in use all year.

It had a set of proper winter tyres with studs in, I use to scare the pajesus out of drivers in the winter time he he

Soo funny to see the face on them, as you overtake, on a road covered in snow & ice

That car was NEVER stuck in the snow it would "dig" its way out of ANY snowdrift


I still have a set of 10" winter tyres, with 80-90% thread on, maybe I should fit them on my race Min, and take it out for a drive

130BHP with 4-27 final and LSD should be interesting

snow is great in a mini,,,but so are the repair bills and heartache when some numskull who cant drive runs into u!

I only know TOO well had a Mercedes 280 in the trunk of my Green Min he couldnt stop becourse of all the ice & snow .

He rammed us so hard (on the rear RH corner) that we were catapultet across the highway, and ended in a hedge, on the other side of the road

The good thing was, that non of us were hurt, and it was also a few years, before I found my original gas welded RH tank.

Quite right, & the reason, I assume is if there were no uninsured unlicensed drivers, they would miss out on all the impound fees, (£230 in Worcestershire, I think). To be honest, I don't think they're bothered about people who are just bad drivers, unless they've had a drink.
