Comment on More winter woes - what’s snow good for? by Roland

I agree with you regarding snowy roads and driving in Europe.

There is one difference with Germany, though - most motorists switch their cars to winter tyres in the autumn. Although it’s not legally required, if you are in an accident in winter and your tyres are found not to be suitable for the road conditions, you will be fined/prosecuted. In several other European countries, winter tyres are required by law during certain months.

This certainly rings true with me. I had a very similar experience with a competitor to Kwik Fit in the town I live. I then went to the mechanic who services my father in law’s cars and halved the bill proposed by fitting centre.

Comment on It’s a dog’s life, but spare a thought for the poor mechanic. by philthomas77

It’s so true about the ‘Dog Cars’. As you might know many moons ago I worked for Renault in Guildford and have experienced dog cars on a hot day and to be honest it’s as bad as Lathwell dropping one in a confined space.

I’m a cat lover myself! dog houses stink too!
