I sure was glad of the 4 wheel drive on my Turbo S Cab this morning (the roof was up for once though) as I eased my way through 5 inches of snow on country roads to reach the M40. Biggest problem I had with the snow was that it made opening the front gates a bit of a challenge

Now, if I can just avoid the numpties on my way home I should avoid any nasty repair bills......

I have a farm in the Cotswold Hills with a variety of 4x4s

However, except in the most extreme conditions, a decent driver really should be able to cope with 2wd.

On that evidence there are only a handful of decent drivers in Hampshire the rest of 'em are already out modifying the hedgerows, street furniture etc this morning..........

Sure, but loads them turn into 1wd at the drop of a hat. Or even snow. Rear wheel drive sports cars with limited slip diffs are the way to go. E30 rules (and prolly some GT3s if they were not such an inviting snow-plough shape at the front )

Only problem I had was the queues all moving at 2mph. I think getting people in and out of the car parks must be bad this morning...
