"Do your snow socks still fit since you enlarged your mini?"
Yip, exact same size wheels. And the socks are in the boot (as is a collapsible snow shovel and three navvies*).
*one of these items may not actually be in the boot...
Have to admit, light traffic today meant driving wasn't too bad, and after suffering Chris Evans up until dropping Mel off (I don't mind him, but sometimes can't be bothered) Radio 4 then took me the rest of the way.
I think sitting in a car you get an even greater sense of just how impatient people are when driving. On a bike you tend to get past and away after seeing an initial moment. In the car you can be behidn the same person trying every trick in the book to get ahead of the traffic for a good couple of miles (best moment was chap in front, who had shoved in from the wrong lane to go round Charlotte Square, swerving into bus lane at the start of Lothian Road, realised the bus really was actually stopped ahead, swerving back out, swerving back in in front as the bus pulled away, and... stopping 10 yards further on at the queue for the red light - didn't see any more cos I turned off to park at Castle Terrace).
