Though, I'm happy to be told how clueless I am. Most of Norway is heavily salted now but areas where it is too cold are not salted. These areas are declining but still exist. And everyone drives on winter tires here and the roads are plowed as we usually get between 0,5 to 2 meters of snow in the winter some places even more.

So no one drives old cars in the winter if they want to take care of them. So they probably have not seen winter use in a long time. bezzabsa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once it gets too cold no amount of salt will melt the frozen water. http://rochdale.gov.uk/parking-roads-and-transport/gritting-and-winter-service/Pages/salt-myths-facts.aspx Lower than minus 10 is pointless grittingbwith salt. Lower than minus 20 and salt water will freeze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterH Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 2 hours ago, Dyslexic Viking said: Fuel (petrol and diesel) is not a problem to get hold of. And are mostly the cities that are not so friendly to cars. In rural areas, petrol and diesel still dominate, and cars are vital there. And Norway is expensive but with a little planning it is possible to travel here without it being too expensive. Ah thank you, definitely one to do then, just seeing the footage from No Time To Die has made me very lustful for those roads, from what I have seen, the Norwegians deserve a lot more credit for fantastic roads than they get IMO 2 hours ago, Tadhg Tiogar said: Especially if you can't do without alcohol.

We went a couple of times, in 2000 and 2002. Wonderful roads, not very busy, amazing scenery. Doesn't matter that there's no direct ferry from the UK nowadays, just take a road trip via Holland, Germany, Denmark and Sweden.
