Wow

Fresh snow over ice today bringing Sheffield to a standstill

Except for me

My favourite bit was driving up an unfeasably big incline past several stuck Merc/BMWs whilst I was on standard tyres

I accept I have to obey the laws of physics on the downs but still its mighty impressive

Are all 4x4s so gifted or just LR products in GGS mode?

The last time we had snow I was in a 330d which spent most of its time abandoned in the garage as it couldnt get up the modest incline of my drive

Cheers

Most 4x4's will go far further than 2wd's but LR's TR system is very good.

Enjoy your car

My wife's 318d is stuck in the drive as it can't go anywhere. And now I am without wheels. She's commandeered mine! If you see a bandwagon - it's too late.....

Well I have just travelled from London down to Southampton Airport Parkway and while we rattled along at 60-70mph we could see all the roads from about Clapham Junction down to Winchester are totally grid-locked with people trying to drive in the awful conditions. I was supposed to get the train from Sway to London this morning at 9:30.......................... wrong kind of ice on the lines had left carriages frozen to the tracks at Ashurst and at poole there was a power failure - ended up driving 30miles to the airport station and catching a train from there. Tonight driving back to Sway all the plonkers seem to be out on the road - idiots driving at crazy speeds down a snow covered outside lane in their high powered cars....................... mad.

Tim - I don't know which way you drove to Southampton but the roads around here (A3 are fine!) There's a little dusting of old snow about but the councils have kept the roads open all the time. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
