Yeah it's pretty bad at mine, haven't got any pics as I'm on a late at work, but it's started snowing again

RE: Snow - Rusty2009 - 17:th-Jan-2016

None here but can't believe you got the car stuck in that tiny bit of snow.

RE: Snow - sheppy1 - 17:th-Jan-2016

Hahaha it was just pure ice under the snow so every time I put my foot down even lightly it just tilted to the side... And there was a ditch either side of me too. Even the land rovers were sliding down the hill

Mate you're letting the side down. You can't be getting stuck, especially on that dusting.

You're just a bad driver @sheppy1 let's face it

RE: Snow - bhalay207 - 17:th-Jan-2016

A 1ltr corsa with 4 passengers could get up that hill [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]

I think you have my friend I live on a steeper hill that that speed bump of a hill and I managed just fine haha

RE: Snow - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Jan-2016

Poor @sheppy1

Did you even try a higher gear?

RE: Snow - sheppy1 - 18:th-Jan-2016

I did indeed @Rusty2009... Second was no better and it kept stalling I'm 3rd lol

RE: Snow - Rusty2009 - 18:th-Jan-2016

You'll have to grab a bag of ballast and keep it in the boot to chuck under / in-front the wheels for some grip lol.

RE: Snow - sheppy1 - 18:th-Jan-2016

Haha not good eh! The land rover people had grit which we chucked down in front of the wheels and that worked. Funny thing is I had my Peugeot 206 for about 4 years or so and never got stuck in the snow once! Always had top control too. Even once when I woke up and the snow was half way up the wheels!

we didn't get any snow - we are in a pocket that it seems to miss - but just under a mile away got quite a bit!
