great car in snow! - Page 7

I am driving on my normal 195x65x15 and have managed some snow covered slopes with no problem apart from a tendency to crab slightly on very heavy cambered roads..

Oh, and my "snow mode" isn't working, the switch is kaputt I think..

Thought my car was coping pretty well with the white stuff untill I stoped on a slight incline in semi-mushy snow, then proceeded to take about 1/2 hour to get going again, good job I had a shovel with me, it was very close to being a Basil Faulty moment( when he attacks his car with a branch!)

Oh dear... though if they'd gone out to help instead of standing in the window laughing perhaps they wouldn't now be having to claim on their buildings insurance...?! Kicking the snow away from the front of a rear wheel driven car though...? I'll say no more lol...
