I know I'm not good enough to make snow doughnuts look good, but it WILL be a lot of fun!

That's something I perfected last yeah when I had mine, got a bit carried away in a local industrial estate one night and spent half an hour perfecting drifting round a small circular road until the coppers turned up, gave me a bit of a ticking off and told me to leave.  2006 Mercedes CLS

This is why i went out last year in the swift a little bit, I had the xantia last time and its hand brake is on the front but creating the lift off oversteer and then 4 wheel drifts are great in the snow and ice and as long as you have a safe empty place to play in with no-one else about its a good idea to practice at the slow speeds so you can improve your skills and get the real feel of the car. FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

On & off here this afternoon, but it's not really like snow, it's just frozen straight over and turned everywhere like an ice rink. 2006 Mercedes CLS

Same here that its the fine stuff that compacts straight away and already seen one car thats had a roll over by the looks of it.

The cross contacts are good tyres in this but need to let a bit of pressure out of them later as they are currently at the max for heavey loads so that should help but also been practicing my doughnuts in a few car parks On the spot spinning is ace!

Journey to work tonight took about 40min nearly where as normally its about 20min, thanks mainly to some drivers sitting in the middle of the road who must have been coasting in 2nd as it was no faster than about 7mph i kid you not Fair enough if it was bad but there was still a lot of grip and driving over the already heavily compressed snow is just dangerous as its ice and offers even less grip  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

all here on the south coast  Stand for something or fall for everything !

^^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said

All things considered it's pretty mild and I don't think the weather forecasters have a bloody clue. BBC is saying temp will be +4 deg overnight, wind from the south and snow!?! Met office seems closer to what I'm seeing outside, but I think they're both over estimating the volume of snow we'll get on the south coast. 2006 Supercharged
