Fraid not :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Front wheel drive is ace in snow, to be honest, if I didn't care about it, I'd take the omega out - that's RWD and a complete blast on the back roads around here in this weather :twisted: :twisted:
Still, just waiting for an overnight order of bits to arrive for the Jeep so that's back on the road - took the mog out earlier but it's a tad chilly in that cab ;)

I've still got the 190E...... can't quite bring myself to sell it! But also can't quite bring myself to drive it at the moment. I'd scare myself silly (not the word I was going to use)! Old fashioned over zealous ABS and 4" of ground clearance don't do well with compressed snow and mounds down the middle!

Heh I took my 190e out in the snow last winter, that was ace till I took a sheet ice hill going up, then promptly came back down backwards / sideways / forwards.... Stayed on the driveway for the rest of the snow after that.

I agree. I got stuck behind a little lady in a vw fox today up a snowy, well, not a hill, a slight incline really! She was going so slow she didnt make it to the top and then progressed to try and drive up the verge, reverse down (which she didnt like and couldnt do) and every time she tried to go forwards she booted it in 1st and as soon as the front of the car slipped sideways it was foot on the brake!
Now my recycle lorry is very poor in snow being an auto, rear wheel drive and no weight in the back but I managed to pull away up the hill from a stand still and catch her up for the 2nd time!
