Was on site with a customer yesterday - me in the 110 on mud's, him in a '58 plate Alfa Romeo Brera. Car park was 5" deep in nice fresh snow.........parked the 110 nice and neatly - he'd abandoned the Brera where it stopped.
2 hours later we leave site.
I said "could be interesting getting out of here"
He says " nah, I got traction control"
I jump in the 110, start up, turn the Eber on for added warmth, write up my notes, and listen to the sound of a Brera on full throttle trying to scrabble up the slight slope out of the car park.
I offered to tow him, but he declined, I offered to push - but there's nothing on the back of a Brera to push against. So I watched - and listened, must have been a V6 or something, sounded quite nice for an Alfa !!
He did eventually get out, and just to rub salt into his wounds I drove the 110 right down the bottom of the car park into the nice fresh snow, had a play, then drove out - easy :grin:
Boddle:
The most important thing as in any driving ENGAGE YOUR BRAIN!!! :lol: =; [-X :-$ :-k

One good thing (genreally) about a long period of snow / ice ..... people tend to adapt fairly quickly to the changes in conditions i.e.
The bad drivers stay at home
and the other drivers think, "oh welll ......... it's only an inch of snow today, not the 6 inches we had to deal with on Tuesday last week" Whereas, if we'de unexpectedly had an inch of snow .... it'd be chaos!
So people do adapt and change their driving style (mostly)
