Be careful out there tonight.

[PinkoCommie]

It's slippery as hell out there, i was being careful and the tracion control was still cutting out all the way through 3rd gear.

Roundabouts are getting a bit like skating rinks. I wonder how many cup's we'll lose this weekend :evil::evil:

It's a damn shame really, as with the new rstuner map and a tank of Tesco 99 in this c-c-c-cold weather it really wants to go.

My Valver (with no ABS, no traction control and parada's!) is comical to drive in this weather!

Its like a circus show.

Very icey tonight! my cup is coping fine tho with the throttle control

Friends called over ours tonight at 20:00hrs, told us they hit black ice on the M4 just past J45 west bound sent the car drifting up the w/way at 60 odd mph, driver was Dylan (mcraeslovechild) on here he was landed drifting the Impreza type RA, but his girlfriend was shitting bricks.

100mph on the speedo and 7 mph on the tomtom FTW:approve:

 

[Skinny]

Had a little understeer round a roundabout on my way home half hour ago, just take it easy round corner and don't be a willy really.

Heh, nice trick, but I'm sure you're risking breaknig something if it suddenly grips.

It's -4 down here in Ashford at the moment, so I pity our friends in Scotland, it must be real brass monkey weather up there.

Yeah I was out earlier in the evening. Minus 4c so obviously I was expecting to have to tip-toe. Straight bit of road I know well, thought I'd punt it up to 70 or so, spun up in 2nd at 50mph and torque steering all over the place. I was kind of expecting it but it was safe to have a play. Crappy roads at the moment. I think they use goose fat instead of salt now. Or something. Whatever it is isn't much better than ice TBH.

LOL at 'Cups'

i was going to go out to burton tonight.......im glad i didnt now

but ive driven a courtesy car (thank god) at 40mph with about 1"1/2 of snow on the ground and the snow falling quick and heavy in the dark and with a workmate in the passenger seat going up the clee hill

i just made it to the top (if it was all uphill i wouldnt of made it and there were cars abandoned already on the hill)

i would say its more driver skill than anything lol

I once had the fun time of driving my R5GTT in about an inch of snow. Not an experience i want to repeat in the least. Group N clutch with a bite point the size of a gnats left ball.

try a cup with out tc on nights like this lol i got my ass kicked by a 1.6 focus the car would just not get the power down

 

[Paul.]

scotland is bad!!

i took it for a small 10min run after work when it ''seemed'' to be dry and no ice. I was wrong. Wheel spinned through 1st , 2nd and third. Roundabouts are interesting:clown:

 

[Whiteley]

Ideal left foot braking practice on roundabouts tbh. Bald toyo's up front and Paradas on the back arent helpful.

 

[VeinAST]

Tis very icy down by Warminster services just incase anyone from round the Wilts area is wondering!!

 

[Jay Payne]

Hope a few get written off, im after a phase 2 dash.

Been waiting for two months for my mates breakers to get a clio in

 

[Guppy]

lol. leg-end ^^^^

 

[willow]

was out earlier and it was reading -7

my windscreen wipers had froze to the car whilst i was driving!

 

[Jamesl172]

Was just about to post something similar - just got in and had a big moment earlier. Was coming off a bend onto a straight, touched the accelerator pedal and my car started to zig zag big style in the middle of the road before I was able to correct it, tc was going mental. Was a bit shook up as if there was anything coming the other way would have been a big smash. Awful out there at the mo.

 

[Addz]

Vee with no traction control and slick back tyres, i'm surprised i havnt chewed through my drivers seat yet :dapprove:

 

[Jay Payne]

when I was a lad, one winter I managed to half spin my old Orion 1.6i Ghia. I caught the skid but ended up the wrong side of the duel carageway (it was only a very wide grass verge separating the carageways at the time)

I s**t bricks!

 

[dirtydog]

had -6 on the dial the other morning and -5 this evening!

 

[VeinAST]

had -6 on the dial the other morning and -5 this evening!

My temp gauge is broken so when it shows 9 degrees it actually means 0 or -1 and last night it was at 4 degrees so it was darned cold

 

[fil_b]

wasout watching my gf bro do a rally

went form -4 to -8

sooooooooo cold

 

[jmsonline]

ive no abs, traction control just my toyo's. drive to the conditions and slow down for roundabouts and everything should be fine!!!

 

[andrewrobert87]

i was a victim of the ice last night, coming back from food, about 11 pm, hit a round about doin normal, 20mph but i didn;t notice it was like -7 out side!! slid to about an inch away from the curb on the other side!! i can say i almost touched cloth!! haha

 

[type_rdriver]

watch this?

Still here, snowing now too

Still using the car tho

 

[PinkoCommie]

I had a little bit of a sideways moment this afternoon on a roundabout. I was only doing about 15mph and the back end let go a little bit. Steered into it slightly and was fine though.
