    No snow in geordie land yet.

    Last year we had my bm and my partner had a merc, both useless in the snow.

    She has a a3 quattro this year, my mini will not get far as the front bumper will not clear the snow, bus for me again

    snow + mx5 =

    My girlfriend has parked her mx up for winter as its extremley skittish in the poor weather - Although I dont se what difference it makes to her as she only drives about 5mph anyway

    Last year we had some snow, nothing in comparison to the above pictures. I was out in my BMW 328 driving around fine in the snow, and some idiot with a bmw 320 was going up sideways up the road flooring it as much as possible and not going anywhere, just loved the look on his face when I drove past him without any problems

    yea i do find them terrible with a bit of damp, mine has the viscuos lsd which seems terrible, my girlfriends mx5 has a torsen lsd which is slightly better, both are pretty lethal though on a greasy road.
