..it all seems to have bypassed us for the time being , but I'm sure it won't be long ! Still really cold though  :o

I was nearly crying like a girl riding my motorbike home at 0530am this morning - after 30miles the pain in my fingers was unbearable ! I thought my fingers were going to drop off ,even though my heated handlebar grips were trying their best to fend off frostbite  :'(

Can you drive normally with auto socks? Or, are they just to be fitted when you need to move out of a sticky situation?

Autosocks are for getting you out of bad situations: take em off before getting onto tarmac or they will wear out prematurely.
