 I'm actually not there and the photo was sent by a colleague. If I was there it would have had an igloo built to keep the snow off as I polished it.

have to say some years back i put a set of vredestein protrac 2's on the back end of my capri (local tyre guy recommended them after i told him roundabouts sidewards were becoming tiresome, fun when i want it, not when i didn't!) and they were by far and away the best boots i've shelled out on, the wet grip was incredible, you could see the dry line behind me as i drove and they lasted over 2 years. What they'd be like on an 8 i couldn't say but it calmed my tail happy capri!
