I love ice  MY estate has cleared up a bit though.
I need to go up into the countryside to find snow/ice.

im not bothered about snow lol its just when the ice is solid and u could skate on it!
i got out my car after college and slipped on the road, my car was fine slid a little but i slipped more than the car!
ive been pulling off in secong gear and tryin to keep it in that for the duration of getting out my estate but theres just no chance of keeping grip

Why dont you pull off on the biting point in 1st gear? You wont lose traction then

easier on some cars just to pull away in 2nd.
mine doesn't like 1st that much in the wet/ice, takes ages if i want to not wheelspin

was doing that earlier steve, sound of boost + 5 cylinder engine + exhaust popping + wheelspin is funny wasn't really icy though, so easy to control.
