It's snowing, and I have to (work is a pain sometimes) make the 50 mile round trip to Leicester. Only had the car a few days, and haven't driven rear wheel drive for 9 years before that, and that one had 75BHP

Be careful and you will not make the list.

Take risks and you will.


The weather is that bad I`d imagine people will be on special guard.

Be careful! My gf has to drive to Newcastle today, but she is taking our 4WD Audi, but even with that I don't think she should go...

Take it easy, Richie. Smooth and gentle throttle and steering inputs are the order of the day.

I had to venture out earlier today to get to the dentist and found that most of the roads were clear - it's really only those on residential estates where the snow hasn't cleared yet.
