    200sx + snow = aieeeeeee!!!

    I had to go to New in, Camarthern tonight. Oh my Blizzard. I didnt think i was ever gonna get home, i thought they were gonna find me frozen in a ditch halfway up a hill somewhere.

    10 miles of undulating lanes, hairpins, hills with an inch or so of fresh snow was absoloutly spanking fun for the first 5 miutes (best fun ive ever had in my car), but scary for the other 25 odd when i had a niggling feeling at every hill that i was not gonna get home.



    I dont think i'll be risking driving to north wales tomorrow.

    a few 5p/10p moments on the way ?

    the trick for snow driving is to drive as if there is an egg between your foot and the pedals - do everything gently and you'll be fine

    I would have thought that the trick for snow driving is not to attempt it in a RWD car...

    a few years back ( and I mean quite a few ) FWD cars wern't as common , so if you wanted to drive your options where on the limited side.
