So drive it before it spools up, or be a little easier on the throttle.
It only spins up because you make it.
Robbo - Didn't realise its population was so low. I thought it made a few million.
Learn something new.
Still, peopel saying aobut using chains n that, what, so all the cars drive down the road with chains on. The chains are used off road.
Normal road driving, the snow is cleared and the roads driven on, just like this country. Difference is it doesn't bring their roads to a standstill "cos its a bit slippery"

if i drive it before it spools up, it would take me about 20 seconds to get to 60mph from zero. then i would be pissing all the blokes on here off because i'm not going fast enough  can't win.

I just washed my car  Even though it was a quick wash, all the water had frozen on the car before I had a chance to wipe it off, didn't even seem that cold to be honest!

I have a picture of when it was really cold up here at the start of December and a drop of water had frozen to an icicle on my wing mirror. Delightful.
