Don't think this will be going anywhere anytime soon..

That car must be a right laugh in the snow.

It is, until it gets stuck.
F1A2s aren't very good in the snow

But it's beautifully balanced and relatively easy to control.

Actually I didn't have too much trouble in the snow covered KFC carpark (It was a fairly pathetic covering we got so the main roads were soon clear).

The GS-D3's a few years back were a waste of time but the F1A2 seemed ok.

I almost got stuck doing donuts in a car park, but luckily reversed my way put of that one.
Perhaps it's the lack of weight over the back wheels.
If the snow continues and I shall throw some bags of salt in the boot!

I dpends what you do and how you drive really. The private road that leads into work is usually spent going sideways, but then that's the only way to make progress as you have to turn the TC off.

It looks as though the only real weight on the rear wheels is the driver, and whatever is in the boot. Could you put a bag of cement in there? Isn't that the ***** way to get more traction

Huh? The weight over the rear wheels will be half that of the car, it's a BMW thus it will have a damn near 50/50 weight distribution, not that this will help at all in snow.

It's slippery out this morning. Especially with ESP disengaged and a penchant for using my right foot.

Well played sir. You've just moved the game on for OCUK'ers taking photos of their car.

Well you aren't going anywhere soon.
