And maybe we should get more ice here, if the girls favor kinky stilettos?

On some of my girlfriends back in the UK that would be quite shocking Dead

Should organise a just flight forum jolly to UNNT to see the airport and the sights. It would be an eye opener. Last years or the year befores Miss World Studied at the university where i work and she was by far not the best looking.

Back to tyres, I like the 4x4 in the snow, the car i mentioned before i had my current vehicle was a 4x4 toyota corrolla 15 yrs old it was ace in the snow and ice, no power but 4x4 for grip normal sized road tyres, nothing special.

.......... блять

but some cars are set up

You didn't say 'some cars' though did you. You said...

No 4x4 though, and too much power, and you're into schtop! schtop! land.

It was a general statement.

I'm sure there are cars out there that are crummy in many respects. Just as there are many cars out there with abundant power that drive well in the snow. I have never driven a jag, but I have driven rear wheel drive cars in the past with equivalent power and no issue in snow in regard to power delivery, issues due to rear wheel drive yes. but not graduated power delivery.

Your Jag/BMW had a clutch didn't it? In which case balancing the clutch is an option, or was it an auto? In which case the statement should be changed to automatics are tricky in the snow.

so pop it in second and head off smoothly, and bobs your uncle.

So if it's a powerful car with loads of torque, pop it in 3rd and bobs your uncle. With that much torque 4th is probably also an option.

If you had said originally that 'some' cars with a lot of power can be tricky in the snow no one would have disputed that.

The Jag got wrapped round a lamp post 2 weeks later (not by me!) due to ice and misapplication of power on a roundabout.

Can happen to anyone, happened to me in a puny 1.6 Fiesta one boxing day.

Ok, ok, ok, some cars....

happy?

SEE YA!! Evil%20Smile

Is it snowing where you are? http://uksnow.benmarsh.co.uk/ - probably the best use I've seen of Twitter yet, although a little difficult to see the dots at some zoom levels on the map.

If you're on Twitter, Tweet #uksnow followed by the start of your postcode and amount of snow.

eg: #uksnow PE29 0/10

No, I want your plane, your house and your wife too.

And you can clean out your bank account while your at it.

Hmmm, I can do you a deal on the wife??? Couple of kids too if that'll sweeten it?

Excellent. What did you do with those 8 extra minutes of being in the know? I hope you put them to good use.

You might be able to find a cheap one of these on Ebay:
