True our new berlingo is pants in snow,the 53 plate I had with mud n snows went up forestry tracks ,drove roads etc.

Even the little polo 6 n I bought now ,has got decent block tread rubber on.

tyres do have a lot to do with it as well

I found older berlingo better as it was higher so had more clearance and was smaller/lighter.

when we lived in England it always amazed us how an inch of snow fell and the country came to a stand still......schools, collages, roads all closed, it might of been better if the councils stopped lining there pockets with big wages and put the money into winter funds instead, there a joke, we've had snow here for weeks with more to come and from day one nothing stopped going, the gritters and ploughs were straight out, last week it was -25 with a chill factor of -30+, and still it all keeps going, so it goes to show you when England has got an inch of snow and its -????? temperature and most things are closed, something is badly wrong with the winter management?

your right mate england does not know how to handle a bit of snow

i know mate, you would have thought by now they could get it right, where we used to live they put some metal shaped cows in the middle of a roundabout (god knows why?) and they cost £,000-£100,000 what a waste of good money, and then they built a sports centre with a white tarpaulin roof, which costs £100 of thousands which needs renewing every so many years the funny thing is not a lot of people use it, its built in the wrong place, and if i applied for planning for the same roof they would turn it down for not in keeping with the area, and yet you can see it from miles away lol, its all wrong!!!
