stuck cars

[Jp ultima]

Just wondering, Whose car got stuck in the snow?

[24lemons]

I did I'm afraid to say. I live in a small village on a hill and came home as soon as the snow got heavy yesterday. I've previously driven up this hill in all sorts of conditions but yesterday it beat me. Fortunately, a jolly nice chap in a Ford Explorer offered to tow me home despite being late for his daughters birthday party.

I stayed at home today!

Nope, but then once it started snowing yesterday I got home and parked up (had a few "interesting" moments even with a thin fresh layer of snow), and haven't moved the car since....

I drove to Kent and back, then got stuck putting the car in the residents carpark at home

Nearly got stuck yesterday. Let the tyres down by about 75% and got out and home with ease

[Bolognese]

Mine did. Had to leave it over night and get the train home.

Rescued it earlier though

No snow here this week but 2 weeks ago I kept getting stuck getting on and off the drive. Its soul destroying to complete a journey and fall at the final hurdle. Even worse knowing that despite being yards from home and on a residential street, your on your own and have to help yourself.

Too much handbrake and rear wheel in a soft muddy bit front wheels on ice. Had to walk home and get land rover. Thankfully I got stuck at my front gate.

Ashamed to say that the Passat got stuck up the very icy hill to my house. I tried 5 times to get it home, but, alas, it wouldn't do it, even after trying a variety of techniques. So it lives at the carpark at the Tesco Express at the bottom of the hill. It probably get home until I can find some grit, or it thaws...

I took the GFs car to work yesterday and has to abandon it in the car park (Mx5). I tried to dig mine out today but its firmly stuck on the drive (also an mx5).

not me in my RWD sporty car. Handled the snow just fine!

[hyperblue]

Nope, I am a PH'er. Therefore, I am directly descended from Finnish snow driving gods and my middle name is "Stig". I drive an AWD car with Antarctic exploration spec extreme snow tyres.

Just drove from Southampton to Milton Keynes with no problem till I got to my cul-de-sac, the car just din't want to go up the very slight incline. Its now parked on the side of the road and doesn't want to move, I hope sthe snow thaws on by Thursday.

Thats where I'm stuck. MK, not your cul de sac.

Not me, but I've been towing people who have.

Wifey's ML hasn't moved since the latest snow fell. The previous snowfall showed us what a liability it was on its standard tyres so we've left it on the drive.

The diesel will probably have turned to wax by now anyway (-11 last night and getting properly cold again already).
