Weather is scary at the moment, cracking the pavements one moment then freezing the next. Very odd.

Oh I am hehe

Much to my surprise, with careful driving, it was faultless. No worse than any other car I have had. Granted it only went a few miles, but there was a lot of "feel" as to how much grip it had, and the back end didn't light up with the slightest touch of the throttle as some people claim it will. Very pleased smile

Yeah, we're due to get snow tomorrow too. My car doesn't do too great in the snow, just as well the other half has a freelander.

I saw these and was most impressed, that's the obvious thing you'd have to do as soon as there was a decent amount of snow down biggrin

Glad it didn't cause you too many problems, though that last photo looks like you've arrived backwards!

Of course, need to test the car thoroughly wink

It was totally fine with the TCS on, and good fun with it off too biggrin

That would be me reversing into a space on the drive, but it does look that way! I think I may have clipped the flower bed a bit though, lets hope that goes unnoticed...
