It's disastrous, as of right now in the snow. > > - tex Oh yes!! I took a trip to the French Alps to deliver a tape a few weeks ago. I hadn't intended to stay long! Everyone else was zipping around and I couldn't even drive over a 3 inch ridge of ice/snow to start out the next morning! I had to walk into the nearest town, buy some chains and "re-adapt" them for the wheels, just so I could drive 3kms back down the mountain and below the snow line. It was so embarrassing but at least it looked the dog's bollocks, gleaming laser red in the white snow as I swore and cursed getting the chains on! I'll fly next time. SP.
