I reckon they would last about as long as the first drain cover/bump in the road that you encounter. What a pile of crap , I wonder if they are even
legal ?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

" The blade linkage is designed such that the blade self levels to the road surface, compensating for camber gradient, suspension movement etc.
The blade has an angled leading guide that allows it to ride up over "normal sized" bumps and pot holes ", ..... and smash your

it may scrape some snow off the surface but its not gonna get thru ice or compacted snow which is the only thing that causes major grip problems.
Stupid idea, stupid price and stupid people who waste money buying/trying it.

As the weight of snow increases, the off centre 'plough' will increase a lateral load on the 'swivel' part of the mechanism
thus increasing friction on the 'swivel'. This will lower the 'plough' and increase the weight of snow (return to the
beginning of the paragraph!)
The car will eventually run over the 'plough' which will then flail around in the arch and carefully remove the brake flexies, ABS sensor
wires etc............
The litigation possibilities are endless
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

There is also the issue of it affecting your steering, if one side drags more than the other.
Beware! Bourettes is binfectious.

I THINK YOU GUYS ARE BEING REALLY UNFAIR.
This guys (mr torquil) has spent ages probably carefully calculating the correct angles to cope with all the forces and no doubt carried out an
extensive FMECA and FEA analysis and had a team of Human factors experts chossing just the right shade of yellow.
Lets support the great (but eccentric) british designers Oh got to go there putting the jack e t t bacccckon.
