4 inches of snow 4x4 or TVR... obvious really!

Just arrived at work, fab drive having taken the sensible decision to take my Chim instead of my 4x4 Highlights - a quick trip around Sainsburys to hone my skills and overtaking a Focus which was stuck on a hill (I needed a bit of comittment mind you!)

Hopefully entertained a few people, just hope I manage to get back with a big grin on my face...

My vx220 was easy enough to drive in the snow today. I did have a few self induced side ways moments though!

Having a Honda CRV as a sensible car to get around in safely in today's conditions, I want to know where I can buy one of these SUPER 4X4's I've seen today who can manage to drive around at excess speeds, leaving little or no braking distance and complete disregard for other road users and pedestrians?????

Lots of fun in the works 44 tonner artic,5 hours to got from Southampton docks to Bournemouth airport,mostly due to car drivers who thought there braking distance would be the same....NOOOOOOOOO......

Drove from Sherborne to nearly Blandford yesterday at 0515-0700 in a failed bid to get to work. So many stuck and crashed cars in such a short period.

Why do people go so slowly when the road is clear and they are approaching a upward hill?

Managed to get home ok by TVR too I actually found it more scary driving my 4x4 XC90 afterwards - after having so much fun in the Chimaera the Volvo's weight and over active ABS massively increased braking distances. The total lack of steering feel isn't normally an issue in the Volvo but on icy roads and immediately after the feelsome Tiv it also came as an unpleasant surprise. Just seen there is more snow due tomorrow, intending to go mountain biking at QE Park on the A3 - maybe a step too far for the Chim (although my bike does fit in the boot!)
