Wasso Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 roads arent to bad, its the pavements almost had an accident before i even got in the car Maybe you should have gone to the toilet first Quote
jumping350 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) no amount of pre outing toilet prep can prepare for icy drains and smart shoes Edited December 5, 2012 by jumping350 Quote
StevoD Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 traction control didnt allow me to move in an inch of snow Quote
smudgedon Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 I know the feeling. My fb status this morning was "hungover, snowing, slick shoes....challenges accepted!" Proud to say I didn't fall over once but had a few squeaky bum moments Quote
smudgedon Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 traction control didnt allow me to move in an inch of snow Always turn tc off for snow Quote
StevoD Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 i did and then enjoyed my drive to work on oppersite lock roads must have an aweful lot of camber around here, Good job ive done a few drift days Quote
rabbitstew Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Had a few brown trouser moments myself this morning... getting off my drive! But once I was on the main roads luckily they had all been gritted! Phew! Quote
Dblock Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 (edited) traction control didnt allow me to move in an inch of snow I personally turn off tcs in the snow as it causes more trouble then its worth in the snow. Cutting acceleration when you need isn't good. Edited December 5, 2012 by Dblock Quote
jumping350 Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 forget the car i need TCS for my shoes its only going to get worse Quote
AMT Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Hmm wonder if I should try this ...traction control off stuff.... sounds horrific yet, its bad enough with it on mind you...lol Quote
Dblock Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Hmm wonder if I should try this ...traction control off stuff.... sounds horrific yet, its bad enough with it on mind you...lol If you cant move for it turn it off. But only if your confident enough without it. Quote
smudgedon Posted December 5, 2012 Author Posted December 5, 2012 It worries me that people don't know about turning tc off in the snow.... How do you expect to get anywhere if the engine just cuts the power? Quote
Dblock Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 It worries me that people don't know about turning tc off in the snow.... How do you expect to get anywhere if the engine just cuts the power? +1, ABS is even worse though. Sometimes you tap the pedal slowly and it wants to cut in. No car I don't want to slide into a car 1mile away from me. Quote
ThriftyFifty Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Snow button baby... all you 6 gear pansies don't have one Quote
Dblock Posted December 5, 2012 Posted December 5, 2012 Snow button baby... all you 6 gear pansies don't have one Its worse then power. Have you used it? It is terrible and doesnt help at all. Quote
