It's been good round Perth / Dundee as well. Ended up sliding towards the hard shoulder / barrier at 50 on the M90 and we had 9 crashes including an artic on the same bit of the A90 week past thursday. Some of the fields have huge patches of ice in them to play on tho, Jimnys are tail happy little sods in 2 on ice eh !

Found them to be pretty good, better in more severe conditions than the Duelers that were on it - good nick Duelers to, kept them anyway.

I'm not sure what road tyres were on when i bought iyt but in the wet they were awful and had plenty tresd still. These barely slip even if you accelerate hard in the wet!

Where up in Scotland are you? I am trying to get back up before the winter's out. Next month maybe.
