Ours is out at 6.30am for a half hour walk, out again at ~12 for another half hour and then gets 45-60 minutes in the evening.

I'm not sure if he loves it or just gets up because "They're going out again, I better go with them!" ;D

According to the forecast some at least might get another chance to find out this weekend as snow is on the way again-apparently.

Spotted one idiot crushed under light pole (driver and passenger OK) and other three crashed together (no damages there either) on the way home that night.

But yea, even in Finland there are drivers who stay at home when shit hits the fan  ::)

Had to go out and my Desmond manual got stuck in the snow had to have a push and then got stuck again. I was told years ago about an old trick, was to let 50% air out of the rear tires being rear wheel drive. Did that and it got me all the way back home no problem.  :y

Works for FWD too, as long as you take it easy and don't go far.
