Very true. I can't do a straight line in ice in my 350z so I don't get in the car if there's even a snifter of the stuff on the road.
Some would say that a car designed for drifting shouldn't be going in a straight line anyway...Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

I seem to be bucking the trend here. After cycling to work for years I needed a car for the new contract role. So I spent a grand on an old Nisan Pixo. My wife says that I look like Noddy in there, but I don't care. It's comfortable, really fun to drive and if it gets totalled I don't care (as long as I'm ok obviously)! Oh, and the insurance is cheap as chips and tax is about £20 per year.Comment

YMMV
If someone truly needs a 4x4 with solid winter tyres then there are plenty of other 4x4s that are far more reliable than anything Tata Landrover can offer you. I keep my cars for 7 to 10 years and don't touch badly made vehicles. They are utility for me.
