I have! It's awesome! Car parks are all empty!

Can not believe how much better E39 is on snow compared to E36! So controlled side ways action!

Had some fun in the golf, love being able to accelerate normally in snow without spinning too And full throttle launches in the wet

I thought the whole idea of Haldex is that its FWD until it loses grip then 4WD kicks in?

I especially bought a 316 Beemer last year (christmas 2010) for snow based shenanigans!

I blew the diff up quickly though and had to replace it on the driveway on my back on my own in -20'C! Geed laugh!

Most roads are clear now, so just leaves us with roads near my house that are like ice rink

Got shouted at by some old woman for making back end of my car step out

Had some £150 escort fun, broken something though, drive 2miles with a funny dragging sound before i thought, "hang on, this could be the fuel tank dropped down and dragging on the road"

had to stop in the road and get under car was some cabling/handbrake cable/abs wire hanging down.

Also found proper rusty sills when the jack mashed them up

i love it
