will be fun trying to get into works car park as they never gritted the whole site last time which meant a lot of spinning cars/lorries

It's all about the RWD !
Our car park has been left untouched. I'm thinking about writing my name in it like clarkson did with the viper!

our shift on m25 next to bell common tunnel was cancelled last night, all good i think set off back to tring to get my car to go home
travelling on m25 going anti-clockwise suddenly turned into a car park both sides,took ages but made it to A41 turn-off (bear in mind e are in a 7.5tonne truck)
a41 not gritted 2 inches deep snow, had to crawl the whole way jack knifed lorries everywhere, we weave past those. Other side is worse an people are asleep in ther cars with lights off (one of our mates was on the other side had been still for 2 hours) make to tring (fuck knows how, fair play to my mate driving)
then..i have to set off home in the beemer, worst jounrey ever, even the main roads between 2-4 this morning no grit had to crawl at 20 all the way home
only fun i had was when i came to a hill, kept a decent pace in 3 to travel up it with out the traction control cutting in an slowing me down (it does) so i slowly reversed backwards, traction control off and spun the wheels up to 3rd gear and got grip and made it (was travelling up sideways the whole time which was a laugh) but honestly was shocked my 328 made it lol, took twice as long to get home tho plus couldnt see cos of the blizzard outside, nightmare
finished!

I moved from my parking space sideways this morning, was alright as only had to use the main roads but turning back into my road was fun completely iced over, looked like tokyo drift in slow motion lol. RWD FTW

No such problems in my car. Until I was day dreaming in the works car park and drove into 15cm's of snow. I ground to a halt and couldn't go no further. Whacked it in reverse, full throttle, jiggle the steering wheel and out I was

Cycled to work this morning/train as I couldnt get mine off the drive even with the LSD spinning up both the wheels
Train was bang on time suprisingly and I met a load of people on there from work with the same idea
Drives supercharged Tec with torque
