Gilly199 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I just got back from edinburgh and i must say, the Z was a nightmare. I got stuck on a hill and nearly never made it home Where i stay there is several ways to get back to the house but every single one has a hill of some sort. i picked what should have been the easiest but man i was soo wrong Bring on the polo snow dodgem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 I know what you mean Gilly in January I couldn't get mine off the estate took an hour gave up and reversed it home again. Trick is to switch off the ESP high gear etc but performance tyres are hopeless in the snow went through a blizzard on M56 tonight couldn't see the road marking though but at least the 300 has got good grip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTO EXPRESS Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 we have snow in buntingford (hertfordshire) got to do a delivery to london tomorrow. think i'll leave my iveco van at home and use the zed instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanski Posted December 18, 2009 Author Share Posted December 18, 2009 As usual the local council have only gritted 2 roads and nothing else this morning- muppets! The motorway outside lane was'nt too clever either but nothing too desperate not like our Scottish cousins who only worry when the snow is 3 foot deep!
