After trying to drive in the snow I gave up and got myself a Renaulport Megane 225, still not very practical I know, but a load of fun and still very quick! Whats everyone knocking about in during the winter?

Subaru Legacy Estate (3.0 SpecB so still worthy of mention on PH I think biggrin) is the daily smoker and proving very capable in this weather. Am on the look out for Landy Defender at the mo, not just due to the snow as getting another one was always the plan once I moved house, but the snow obviously heightens the desire - sadly it seems to have done that to a lot of people and they are all getting sold.

Big old V8 Merc - interesting in the icey weather haha. But we don't exactly get a lot of snow on the South coast so it doesn't really warrant forking out for a snow friendly car.

Currently a Sei Sporting in yellow, appropriately named 'Cheese' as it looks like a wedge of one. Am thinking of calling the Cerb 'Chalk' smile

Not as quick as the ZX diesel turbo before but considerably better than the J-reg Clio RL which preceded it. I like the Sei but dear God am I gagging to get the Cerb out again.

Ditto - an early Eunos, which seems quite at home in the snow and ice
