Up at 6:00 this morning drove from Nottingham into Birmingham no problem, a bit of snow around (a couple of inches).

It was funny watching one of my factory workers come speeding down the road in his chavved up Saxo and brake hard before turning into the car park, he just sailed on by with his stereo on full blast narrowly missing several parked cars!

Maybe have some fun later getting home!

It is great fun in the snow.

Last Xmas I took my S to a fairly unused airfield nearby, and spent 2-3 hours hooning around... power sliding in 3/4 gears and then losing it and spinning all over the place.

It suprised me how controllable the car was in the snow.

Great fun!




and a close call!

Saw my traction control light come on for the first time this morning going up the slope to the office car park.

How exciting!!
