Is that your route to work/the shops or are you out for a drive to find deep snow/play?

That day it was sort of both. When I'd seen that it snowed I got togged up and went out playing and towing stuck motorists. I used over half a tank of fuel before heading home about 3.5 hours later and having towed a number of people out. I didn't get stuck once though

As for that road, I used to live at the bottom of it (although not at the time of the picture). But yes it would normally be a fairly well used route and by no means remote or in the middle of nowhere.

Ah, but have you tried a Z3?

lol

Although if it has an LSD and some decent tyres I'd still give it try. It's the LSD that makes the difference though. Although getting moving with RWD can be tricky as on low grip surfaces with a LSD it'll want to turn sides rather than straight ahead, fine once you are moving though.

I've used both of these in wintery snowy conditions and both were perfectly fine (although I wouldn't attempt deep snow as per in the Landy )

The Z3 was fine last winter. Why do people thing they need a 'winter car'?

We don't have proper snow down here (I note you're in Oxfordshire), though that is to some extent offset by the utter hopelessness of the residents when they do get an inch or two of unexpected white stuff.
