The same can be said of my Jag. I genuinely expected to leave it on the
drive last winter. But a second set of wheels equipped with winter tyres
wa=
s
a revelation. It handled the ice and snow every bit as well as the wife=B9s

Tosh right back atcha then Ian :P

I've driven many BMWs over the last 20 years and I DO know how to drive in
the snow and they are useless (on standard tyres etc) and certainly in our
rural setting.  That's not just my opinion, but many peoples, including the
BeeEmm sales guys that took us out in the i3.
