Of course the Honda S2000 owners will be parked up in the layby with the hood up looking for the torque while this is going on, and wondering why their tin bean can exhaust fell offLast edited by SuperZ; 18 January 2010, 13:04.

The niece and her BF went off the road into a ditch on saturday, black ice the police said.
She has a few bruised ribs, otherwise ok

In my village some idiot drove the exact same car through the town at probably over the speed limit(definately over 30) while the road was covered in snow and ice - they were zooming along. Picture a small village with narrow side roads leading out onto a quietish main road, where kids and cars can suddenly appear out of the side roads. 4x4 with good tyres, they're not going to stop easily
Just because they have 4wd they think they can drive at normal dry road speeds. I hate such cars sometimes as the drivers just have no idea and can end up causing problems due to their overconfidence in poor conditions.

Although guilty of smugness driving around unaffected in the wife's 4x4 of late, I like the picture of the Range Rover on this page. Not sure what the driver was doing to end up there but I bet it shook her up a bit.
Not looking forwards to more snow, but it's winter and I live in Yorkshire so it's pretty inevitable.

So that's a risk (not a certainty) of a small amount of wet snow (which doesn't usually settle) after which it will rain (which will melt any snow that has settled).
Nothing in there to suggest any kind of chaos on the way
