  4. yeah once your on to sheet ice, its just down to a wing and a prayer; doesn't matter what you drive its going to slid.
  5. Hehe its ok, my cars been going sideways constantly the last couple of days.. so seems right that my topic should too Was actually worse driving in today, Took me like 15mins to get 100m up the road. It's not not on a hill or anything but wheel spin galore Found that turning ESP off and sort of snaking sideways helps! Once on the main roads though it wasn't too bad until I had to turn corners Unfortunately not going into work is not an option for me, even if I have to walk the 8+ miles so I've just been taking it easy and leaving loads of space. The driver side door is frozen shut so I currently have to climb in through the passenger door, hope that doesnt freeze up too My poor seats are covered in snow from climbing over i've been bombing around int the snow without to many issues. key tricks (sorry if this is teaching granny to suck eggs) 1. pull away in 2nd or third gear 2. only use enough throttle not to stall 3. don't use the brake 4. slow down with the gears 5. leave enough of a gap so that you can slow down just by dipping the clutch 6. time entry on to juctions so that you don't have to stop 7. set your speed before a corner any kind of braking or accelerating will end badly 8. if your spinning the wheels your only making it worse. if stuck use the clutch to rock the car out. 9. if neccessary get out and clear snow from behind or in front of the rear tyres. 10. if attempting a hill make sure you don't have to stop half way, have a runn up and keep the momentum going. 11. if your slidding opposite lock and try and balance it and the power out. sure there is more but can;t think off the top of my head.
  6. my wifes brand new top of the range IX35 has decided to stop working in the cold as the keys have stopped talking to the car. apparently in the cold they are vunerable to this. she is not happy to say the least.
  7. toyota were my favourites, along with BMW been to 3 bmw dealers over the last few years and they have all been great.
  8. there was 3 of those out side my school
  9. wonder how many more roof's like that we'll see? especially up in bonnie scotland where they have a metre of the stuff
  10. if i had the money i would have a brand new jag xj; they are same as i'd buy an alfa or an aston or a TVR they all have their issues; does just seem to be badge bashing for the sake of 1 person. chesterfields account of things hasn't put me off the cars, just the dealerships. and to be honest nissan did the same. so all i did was avoid the dealerships.
  11. what the hell are you lot drinking up there, the longer you all don't seem to drive your zeds the more girly your all becoming dave glad your here, nice to see others taking the heat instead of me and husky now
  12. it stopped being about the sport about 15-20 years ago, and now its all about the money.
  13. irfan i agree, why have a nice car, then drive a crap heap. by all means have a 2nd car, but get something decent.
  14. not the first or the last top gear car to fall apart when they've had it. clio V6 did; think they went through 3 cars. koineggsegg had issues couple of their ferraris had issues i know there were more but i can't fo rthe life of me think of what they were
  15. i've been bombing around in my s2k in 1/2 foot of snow with not too many issues. no shed required here.
  16. its a crap sport anyway so not bothing me
  17. vik i accept there are exceptions to the the rule, and you Vik are one of them. its just a shame the majority of your sex let you all down by being so bloody useless.
