Couldnt you use the clutch on its own to go backwards once you'd moved forwards? Even in a FWD if you try to accelerate going up something like that it will spin.

it's a torqueless vtec though... at the start of the vid is kinda what happens when you lift clutch up with no revs... just instant stall.
You have to slip it with some throttle to avoid it stalling.

I'm half tempted to try putting my front wheels on the rear...
My neg camber is like
/ \ on the rear... I think the insides of the tyres are just bald.

it's more the fact it's going uphill slightly... I cleared most of the snow with a for sale sign. It's mainly just on ice.

Your engine is sitting across your driven wheels... Easy when you've got that traction mate.

Was going to suggest filling the boot up earlier but didn't want to get flamed

I remember trying to get that car out in similar conditions last year; as Paul said if you try and creep it stalls. The only way i got it off the drive was floor it in reverse from the garage and pray!! May have been easier then tho as had smaller standard wheels on it.
She cant get the new one out at the moment either because of the snow so ended up dropping my saxo up there last night for her to use
