There were no regulations about the state of tyres in those days. I remember one farm on which I worked, and a truck came loaded with ground loimestone to spread on some of the fields (an ancient practice to sweeten the soil and improve the ph). This was a converted military truck, 6x4, unrecognisable with white dust stuck to it all over. It went a little way down the firm track, then tried to turn up-hill onto the land to be treated. The land was clay, wet and slippery. The dual rear wheels churne=ned round and round, and it wasn't going anytwhere. He made several attampts in different places. All the while the tyres were trailiing loose flaps of rubber - they were re -treads, already sheredded with working on the land and getting stuck. The tyres were like an old pair of rubber boots, totally shagged. Cue for session in the barn bringing things to a conclusion.
My first time kinda

so recently passed my test. the weather has been very wet here in UK recently so everything lined up perfectly.
Found a very muddy gateway. loads of room to park and a slight incline to the road. I got quite deep in it spinning. Genuinely struggling.
I could of got very stuck there if it wasn't for the fact I could roll back and then have a slight run up. which is how I got out. Chickened because I was on my own with no signal in that area

The more aggressive the tread the more I want to see it stuck or doing a burnout! Working the Gas and Clutch with some hot Boots or Sneakers always adds to the fun, too! Snow, Mud, Dirt or Pavement: Love to spin on it all!

First off. Congrats on passing your test. Can now go out and spin those tyres good. Yeah, manual cars are great for spinning and getting stuck. But autos are also ok. Many cars in the states are fairly powerful, and I understand that engines are being manufactured in smaller capacities now, but I love the sound of a V8. Let's enjoy them while we can.
In Europe, smaller engines are now becoming the norm also. But some have good power outputs. Pity that traction control is becoming more standardized on newer cars. -
