Where's the fun in that?

Putting the chains on the (rear) wheels, on the mountain road some years ago, we were amazed that a couple of wombles watched others putting chains on and proceeded to put theirs on the rear wheels... even though they had a front wheel drive car!

We didn't stay to see what they would do if a Subaru went past them without chains...

I imagine that some thieving local nicked them.

I see that quite a bit down here.

And I have seen a few Subaru's in a ditch too ... 4WD is good ... but not infallible. Gravity and the lawsw of physics ... win in the end.
