Autosocks - (think snow chains)

[Welly]

I saw a pic of these (on another forum ) of someone using them out in the snow and apparently they are very good.

I'm thinking more of Mr Earwig here.

Yep, saw them over on the coupe club, they reckon the video's been cut and they're harder to fit than they appear. All I can think is they've never tried to fit snow chains... Whether you'd be reversing you car backwards and forwards trying to get them in the right place is another thing, and if you've so stuck you're immobile then you'd not have a chance of fitting them. And, seeing as how chains are a legal requirement, I wonder if the neanderthals they use for coppers here would recognise them as such.

I can't find a price for them here (nothing new there) but, at 60 quid in the UK they're 3 times the price of chains in the UK already - add customs, tax and greed to make that 5 or 6 times here Still, I should email this to Goran and see if if I can get a staff discount...

More gadgety snow chains. Good for crossing car parks.

Sounds easy. You should try it on a coach in a blizzard while thinking i wish i had practised this in the uk.

We've hardly had weather bad enough to justify that. If everyone remembered the 5x 'P's we'd have no problems.
