Got some snow over here. Very unusual.

Firstly, dispite being on rather unsuitable tyres, the Four was pretty easy to drive.

Secondly, I found an empty car park. And then made some noise.

In slippery conditions, she's definately rear biased. A armful of lock and a bootful of boost and you're looking out the side window.....

She's also very easy to hold sideways on poor surfaces. Dial in the opposite lock and balance the car on the throttle. Hold it there for 50m, half an hour, a week, until you run out of fuel, whatever you like.

Thirdly, ABS is useless in snow.

I don't have the balls to discover this on gravel/tarmac. On snow, it's all sub 20mph.....

The ABS is great in 99.5% of normal driving. It was too cold to find the fuse tonight......



And I saw 55mph on the speed. Whilst going round in circles......

I had a laugh in the MRT last time it snowed ( in a large carpark), that car is not built for drifting!


Well, it'll probably do it. But not on snow....
