I'm sure that I'm not the first, and wont be the last to say: "be careful out there in the slippery stuff - the elise is fantastic in the dry, but unless your a very very very good driver the elise will catch you out"
<end nanny mode>

Have fun biggrin

Can't imagine driving on the roads in snow! I had an MX-5 a few years ago and that was frightening although car parks were loads of fun.

My only accident to date in the liz was in the snow at 10 mph and still managed a few grands worth of damage - the pitfalls of the liz as an everyday car.
