The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Interesting idea but my 1st thought was "oh dear"
Besides surely if it worked it's swept the top layer of snow away to leave ice..? Even less traction then haha should just get rid of the saxo and find a :suzuki:
if in doubt, FLAT OUT!

How long until the first lawsuit against him then? I doubt that product would never get E-marked therefore it won't be road legal, as soon as it hits a pot hole its going to do some damage.

What a stupid idea :S

Me and the Mrs just had a good giggle at this! On a slippery surface its only got to hit something that doesnt shear the pin and the vehicle will loose control!! Very dangerous at first glance. Would need to see it in person with a professional opinion to believe its safe. Hope the company is well insured. Like the 1 year manufactures warranty at the end lol!

That is such a bad idea I keep thinking it's a spoof april fool type product. The first drain cover and something is going to bend/break and it won't be the drain!

No this can't be for real, surely not :screwy: :screwy: it's just an awful idea.
