Despite five inches of snow on the Chim' i thought
it would be fun to try and drive it to work!
40 min's of slithering about and i hadn't even made
it out of the car park!!!

Took mine out too! Went home after the Highways agency officers didn't find my atempts to get up a hill as amusing as i did. I'm sure i would have got up it eventually!

I used to drive my S3 around in Newcastle. 4 lane industrial estate after hours was brilliant!

Decided to leave the TVR and th Elise at home today and tonight. My experiences with Elises and ice/snow are not good.yikes

I got nabbed by the snow late on Wednesday night driving home. The Sag seemed to be doing much better than some of the other cars on the road... loads of grip!

My Tuscan is much better in snow and ice than my E46 BMW 330 was. At least its predictable!

laugh sorry slightly twisted sense of humour getmecoat had to drive up a back road during the week in my old FWD diesel workhorse(accident diversion)the road was like greased sheet glass and the hill was steep frown going up was not as scary as coming down the otherside yikes driving in the snow is not to bad and pretty predictable but hitting ICE little control and throw camber/gradient into the mix and you can get into serious trouble as you know eek
