  1. In 2006, I travelled 150 miles through very slippery snow and frozen rain. At times it was a nose-to tail crawl and never got above 30mph due to traffic. I ran out of petrol because the car used at least double its normal consumption. I (stupidly) ignored the fuel gauge because the needle fell so fast I thought it was broken.

  2. The last time I saw -18°C was 1981/82. My VW splitty van (12V system but 6 volt starter motor) slipped more than it went where I really wanted it to, but it always started no problem. At the same time, I was helping neighbours jump lead starting brand new cars. My biggest problem was ice INSIDE the windows due to the notorious heating system on the VW boxer. I fitted little defroster heater elements to the windscreens which worked better than expected.
