Danish07 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 hi guys! I've been kinda stupid and now I'm stuck at the bottom of an icy road in the only dry spot, where I've been parked for three weeks I was wondering if anyone in Bristol had snow chains or snow socks they might lend me to get myself out of here and parked on a nice, iceless main road. Or perhaps some suggestions as to DIY fixes that'll have me driving on snow & ice Thanks for any help! Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 flag down a 4x4 owner I'm sure he will pull you out onto a good bit of road Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 well your options include... snow socks, potentially crash into a kerb or some such? snow chains, guess they could do damage if used incorrectly and then still the chance of sliding off somewhere tow from another car, i wouldn't do it but then im too precious about the car leave it where it is, is it that bad? grit the road yourself and chip away at the ice and snow like a miner striking a vein of gold!

Chris`I Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Doubt snow chains will do much on ice tbh. Best bet is to get out there with a shovel and grit and break it up enough to get where you need to. Let your tyres down quite a bit so that you have a larger contact patch (obviously keep enough in that the rims wont hit the floor!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Leave it a few more hours and there will be no snow or ice left. Meant to be 8 Degrees Celcius tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
