I've mentioned it a couple of times already but who would have thought that buying a snow car would have actually paid off

Its brilliant and would coope with worse conditions, at the moment its like there is no snow. I went down a fairly steep hill to the beach this morning and there were people standing at the top warning about how many cars were stuck at the bottom. I gave them a little wave as I calmly breezed past on the way back up

what where you doing on the beach on a day like today?

Oh, i managed the trip to work in my front wheel drive focus diesel. Few of the office didn't. Driving through a little village with an S bend and something caught me eye. Really poor parking. When i went past i realised the bloke had slid from the other side of the road and totalled the front of his car in someone else's parked car.

30 seconds later i saw someone steaming along at 30 through the slush heading into the village .... guess that will be two cars badly parked when I'm going home.

ill be honest i wen down to the beach as I knew there was a steep snowy hill

Seems like a damned good reason to go to me

Staying in a hotel in Birmingham atm.. carparks still snowy from this mornings snow effort... Heavy rear wheel drive merc vito is a lot of fun!!! Turn traction control off and it donuts and drifts beautifully. Although if you drift too much it switches traction control back on and you stop

My company car is a skoda octavia 4x4. I got it Nov 07 but not had any decent snow til now, its ace it will go anywhere. At the same time my work mate ordered his octavia VRS and is always showing off the power of the engine (170BHP) and thats from a diesel. Tis good though and fun to drive but not in snow unlike mine which does excellent power slides in car parks
