Cup Culling Season?

[akaboogie]

the best place is kept parked up....only takes an other car to slide out and you are in the wrong place at the wrong time...

using mine everyday and weve got it quite bad in bedfordshire

Using my mk1 everyday also. It's too low, too stiff and with too low profile tyres to be forgiving in the snow, but it just gets on with it. Oh and the notion that lighter cars are worse in the snow is nonsense, light is MUCH better, less momentum to cause slides, and less weight holding you back against pulling away. Still can't go over 20mph for 2 miles either side of my workshop though

Nope, only had my cup 2 months, bad time to jump to a 2l from a 1.2 with this weather TBH! But i'm to and from work everyday, and the only *ahem* accident I can think of that I've had is the other day intending on turning left at a mini roundabout and sliding straight on, que me flicking my indicator off and pretending that I meant to do that..

To be honest whether its a 1.2 or 2.0 it will make no difference in this weather as you can't drive any faster in one than the other safely. They're both fwd cars with as near as dammit the same sized tyres and they're basically the same car. I moved from 1.2 to a 172 last winter, the issue is it annoys you because you can't enjoy the car properly. The same issue i'm having with my mx5, unless I find an empty car park

'Cup Killing Season' is a myth. Its actually Incompetent Clio Driver Elimination Season.

Not a cup but i stopped about 5 inches from railings after trying to turn right and go down a hill.

Not to sure about the difference between abs/no abs as my saxo didn't have abs but the clio does. I just try to not get myself into the situattion where i need to brake hard.

THIS is an incredible save! I've watched this so many times over the years, still makes me shudder!

My Cup has been very good so far, always felt very much in control to be honest. If the weather gets as bad as they reckon it will though, I'll be taking the Land Rover over the Christmas holidays, at least if some prat slides into me, they'll probably come off worse.

I know of a cup that locked up on a hill in Bristol, slid to the bottom until a curb stopped it, and bent the bottom arm. Thenn an hour later another car did the same and hit the abandoned cup

dan where was this? whats happened to it

 

[bill]

reversed mine off the drive last night as i was planning on using it today, wouldn't move an inch, so i guess its there till the snow clears up!

Why would you want to pay more for insurance to keep a hotted up Clio exclusive?

I thought it was always someone/something elses fault! If its not the car, then it was the woman driver going the other way down the street...
