Putting salt down is too slow and for wimps!!!

All you need is 13kg Calor gas bottle
Long Length of hose
and a Roofing torch
Hey presto the mans way melt the ice to shift the escort out my way!!!

Beauty about salt though is unless the temperature drops below about -6 degrees C, the saline water won't freeze!

Or you could have bought winter tyres

You'll need winter gas with that too, or it won't boil off.

Wouldn't it have been better all round just to burn the escort?

It's a red bottle - indicating propane.
C3's boil (vapourise) down to (about) -20 degC....hence intrepid campers use propane this time of year.

I'm sure a real man would have de-iced the windscreen with it as well!

Fine at slow speed, but for the real job - ie. clearing a snowed-up motorway fast enough to drive down it at normal speed - there's no substitute for a nuclear reactor.

Don't let Emsman see this thread!

Thus leaving a nice smooth ice sheet for the poor unsuspecting sod who comes along
a little later "maybe"

Why didn't you just drive round him?

Well you're bloody nice, aren't you?!

That's a start, a good start even.. but for real man points; you got fire - where's the steak on a stick? You must be one of these gays!

i think the jet engines mounted on the trucks they use at santa pod should be used, it will melt all the snow and ice and blast it all of the road to refreeze harmlessly on the verge. might cause a few potholes on badly maintained roads though. They should use them at airports though without a doubt!
