182's are useless...

...in the snow. Seriously. Wide tyres + Hard coilovers + huge turning circle = Leave it at home.

Took the lady's Twingo instead. That's a f*cking riot in this weather.

It's the heaviest we've had it up in Manchester, so I took a few pics.

:cool:

Don't get me wrong, it's not hard to drive in this weather, but it's no fun. The Twingo is awesome though, I'll admit, I've given the handbrake a few tweeks on wide corners.

Ragnotti eat your heart out.

Looks mint in the snow there, Manchester was pretty bad this morning for me, not many roads had been gritted.

Took the dog out earlier in my 172 and had to do a U-turn on a dual carriageway to get to Tesco, it does suck, couldn't do a lovely U-eey. Needs to be a load lighter, turn properly and have skinny skinny tyres.

Better than a few cars I've had tho. The thought of my old Cavalier 1.6 GL in the snow still makes me shudder.

Mines been rubbish in the snow, had a few really hairy moments, ended up on someone's drive yesterday!

It's been really bad in Bolton I know SuperBenji's bumped his sunflower in the snow too, hit a kerb sideways and wrecked the suspension, so he now has a good excuse for coilovers now!

I went out in my Mum's hairdryer 107 the other day that was quite good fun, far better than the 182.(In the snow)

Think I'll set mine to soft for alittle while (Not that that's going to help) :eek:

Nice pics Chris. We've got tons here, I have stuff to do today so can't really go and mess with photos.

It hammered it down last night when I was out, had to wipers set to max and still bad visibility. Makes me very nervous to drive today.

That first photo is ace. When it's time to buy a house I'm definitely going for a RB 182.

What you all need is a tt for the snow! For once I'm having more fun than you lot lol. Esp off, give the handbrake a little bit of action, opposite lock 4 wheel drift = instant hero.
