Hi All Thanks for the warm welcome. Roads had cleared a lot by last nights journy home so much easier, icy again this morning but i wasn't going to be scared off that easily. Re pics, I'll post some as soon as we get some decent weather, the cars supposed to be Blade but at the moment seems to be a non standard Nissan colour "Frosty White"

Hi Everyone, Well, I've been looking to swap cars for a few months, and on Saturday my TT finally went in exchange for a 2005 350z Roadster. Freezing cold but sunny, so drove most of the 40 miles home with the roof down. Family commitments yesterday, needing 4 seats, so the 350 had to stay at home. Got up this morning to a good covering of snow (yes I know it was forecast but how often do they get it right) and a very new driving experience. Had to do a 3 point turn on the front lawn, as in reverse I couldn't get any grip on the drive, and then crawled the 4 miles to work in 1st and 2nd, local council obviously trusts weather forecasters as much as me, as not a gritted road in sight. All this being said would I have swapped that tail twitchy half hour drive for the sure footed Quattro? Not a chance. Saturday just gave me too much to look forward too, roll on the summer Matt
