Driven in the snow yet?
Discussion
Even I travelled generally diagonally today 
Probably as easily driftable as a TVR in this weather, it is some 400kilos lighter afterall... but I guess its also some 300bhp down!! 
*before anyone says, yes it does have tc and abs, but they give up after they realise its icey. Annoyingly it only really kicks in during dry weather hoonage, strange little car.

Just taken me 2 hours to get home in the tiv!!, quite thick snow on every road!!, even a few 4x4's were getting stuck, not quite sure how I made it!!, although the tiv drove its self for about a mile with me walking next to it with a little encouragement every now and again!! comedy at its best!! 
comedy at its best!! As the Chimaera is the only car, I always end up driving in the snow. Couldn't get it up the rumble strip into the estate this evening cos the grip was so poor...... Biggest worry is when i get to an incline and with a queue of cars behind i struggle to get to the top....still i suppose if they want to get to where they want to be then they can always get out and push me.....Still sideways everywhere .....!!!

Got totally caught out in the blizzard in Staines today. Only had the Cerbera two days and now this!!
Felt fine though so obviously the gritters have done their job!
Wish I had a camera cos the car looked great in the snow!
I got caught in it big time, and had a nightmare of a journey. Still, i think i have mastered clutch control now
I managed to get to work yesterday despite a mile long 45 degree slide (driving with tail towards the pavement) which kept threatening to be a spin - got lots of thumbs up and smiles from people driving the other way so it must've looked cool!! 
Finally slid into work and was stranded in the car park when i went to leave. Got a push on to some gritted tarmac which was good until i got out on to the road which wasn't gritted. OK until the tiniest incline at which point it was bollox. Had to reverse back and leave the car at work overnight! Hopefully it might be better later today....

Leaving London last night to go back to Canterbury - 4 hours later I managed to get the Tusc. in the garage. Even the slightest incline sent me off down the road sideways, at one point I was at 7000RPM in first inching up a 1/1,000,000 incline. All good experience, although it needed a hell of a clean...thankfully I picked up the 4*4!
