Hi
When it really cold and snowy a few years ago, I found the Ruby managed very well in the snow. The narrow tyres seemed to work well.

Hi all. just like most of us I use our Ruby most weekends rain, sun, I only stop driving the Ruby when our beloved council put rock salt on the roads. Keep driving our cars that is what they were made for.S&P

The only time I don't use our Sevens is when the authorities have been polluting the environment with thousands of tons of salt, a great pity really because I really enjoy driving in the snow with plenty of practice in 1963.

I use Fluid Film on the underside, sloshing it everywhere necessary. Gets everywhere and penetrates seams and welds, never seems to dry unlike Waxoyl.

It has been known!

I am happy to use my Austins throughout the year but do not venture out when there is salt on the road. I did a couple of VSCC Measham rallies when there was salt on the road and no matter how you hose the car down afterwards, the salt gets into those awkward crevises around the wings and running boards.
The saloon is very cosy in winter, the whole bulkhead gets pleasantly warm and the moquette seats help.
Unfortunately the road leading to Boltby is probably the most heavily salted road in Britain. Just east of Boltby is Sneck Yat, a fearful 1 in 4 hill. The gritter comes out early morning from Thirsk, through Boltby and turns round at the foot of Sneck Yat to return to Thirsk. The exercise is repeated early evening, so I get four doses of salt on the road each day in winter.
Sometimes the layer of grit and salt is more of a skid hazard than the ice or snow!
