I wasn't condoning or promoting the 'British School of bad Motoring' it was merely the first national company to spring to mind whilst having a rant. People who buy an omega normally have some previous driving experience due to the insurance costs involved. The rant was more for the 3 or 4 posts asking questions like 'How do I drive in the snow'! If you don't know then sell your car and get a bus pass!!

Anyway I've finished ranting now so normal service can resume

 

No wonder I did not get it, I kept going back to the link but could not find where they were advertising snow lessons......

Sorry Mike, I didn't mean to confuse you It just annoyed me that some people feel the need to come on to a public car based forum and ask, basically, how to drive!

I suspect many have only 'enjoyed' FWD, so valid to ask for tips...  :-/

True enough It's a shame the search button isn't utilised in that case. As I've said there have been 3 or 4 over the last couple of days

Again, in fairness, unless you are good with the search terms, the search facility on this site is piss poor

Google isn't though

But, TBH, there are so many different views from people. Lots say that the Omega is useless in the snow, I have always said it's fine as long as you take the proper precautions and drive to the conditions

I have just grabbed a set of snow chains off ebay before the prices get hiked... About £34 delivered

Using Google to search this site is probably not obvious to less computer savvy

I've had a look at the socks and  @ the price!!!

Apparently they still need removing when off the slippery stuff so just got chains for the rear. Not sure they'll suit my driving style though

If, and I do mean if, we get enough snow to justify it I'll try them out Got them more for the Christmas visiting, just in case, because my Dad lives on top of the South Downs
