First time with rwd in the snow and I can report that its useless! :headvswal
No chance of getting up the slightest hill, better after letting rear tyres down but still not good!
Went to drop my son off at his mums on the way to work, got about half way up her road at tickover in 1st, 3mph then lost traction. Few revs saw me climbing up the hill sideways but still making progress. I then saw a clean patch of tarmac where a parked car had been and gave up there.
Then spotted that I was now parked opposite a side road that was a steep downward hill toward me. Some bloke comes down the road all locked up, front wheels at full lock. Ermmmm I best move then!
Good job my rear wheels were on about 6ft of clean tarmac so was able to shove the car forward about 15 feet quickish. He slid all the way down the hill and stopped just before the kerb where I had been parked!
I then managed to spin the car round and started down the hill, finding I was going down sideways! Well the only way to straighten this up was to allow the fronr of the car to speed up and come off the brakes. As soon as it was straight i was back on them dabbing like mad, managed to stop at the T junction and onto clear tarmac.
Was interesting!
