Ive been told last year people were just using other cars as brakes. Bouncing off them down the hills.
And the polish were out charging people to get them out of the snow in there 4x4's


Where abouts in High Wycombe do you live?

I was hoping to of sold my car and bought a 4wd sports hatch/saloon, but it hasn't happened. My car is useless in the snow on summer tyres.
I really should invest in a winter set.


I live just on the edge of Cressex, didnt realize you were from round Wycombe!


So i guess it is as bad as people say, going up desborough must be a nightmare!

I'm up near the other side near the VW and Ford garage. There's a really really steep hill up to my road on one side, but I just go the other way in winter and use my van mostly, as my leon slides all over the place.

I wouldn't touch that massive hill up to Cressex with snow
I'd have to find another route.

What colour is your 182? I saw a silver one this morning near the BMW garage.

My Cupra R is a platinum grey 04 reg, and there are a few about Wycombe and most drive like bellends.

Yeah, might be a good excuse for a day or 2 off work

The 182 is French Racing Blue - With a smaller front plate ending PXX (thats the only way you would recognise it!) Im in leeds atm so you wont see it for a while ha

Your right, there are a few tits driving cupra's around

My Connect was crap in the snow last year. Gonna put some winter tyres on soon before the prices go nuts again, see how it gets on this time.

The S3 was pretty much faultless, even with heavily worn regular tyres on, fake 4wd=win.
