but right to the point though mate, and as accurate as you could get, however I do not like brandy, I am a whiskey man, that is after the red wine as a chaser, Rick

no matter how good a driver you are in the snow / ice , and how well prepared you are , dont forget there are drivers on the road who arent as well prepared , or as good at driving in those conditions , they are the ones who will cause far more accidents , and that is regardless of what vehicle they are driving .

simple advice ..... if it can happen be prepared for it , because it might happen .

Brandy for afternoons, Malt Whisky for the evening and socialising.
I prefer the Highland whiskies, my son the peatier Islay ones.

But as Cowley says in "The Professionals, " There is no such thing as a bad Malt "

If I get a choice then it is Laphroaig a very strong flavoured Islay malt, Rick
