Snow

[Loftylad]

...unlike all the RWD stuff! :)

Another string to the Aygo's bow.

Who else can't help smiling as they're passing all the abandoned BMW's, Mercs etc going uphill in the snow today.? :D

yeah, mine stick to the road pretty well. Lots of abandoned cars about today :D

FWD 68bhp, 950kg and 155 tyres to cut through it is always going to be better placed that most other cars who's extra mass and bhp will just spin the wheels.

Although my 205/40 Yokohama's negated the narrow width somewhat :D. They do not like a sideways gradient so I found myself going forwards ok but also sliding off the top of the camber to the kerb. A bit of jinking with the handbrake soon got us pointed in the right direction though. Actually the handbrake is pretty good fun with such a small wheelbase.

One bad thing is the MMT gearbox though, can't slip the clutch of course and the electronic "brain" didn't want to slip it too much so quite a lot of wheelspin in reverse ( which is shorter as well I think ).

I should have the dirtiest Aygo by the end of the week at this rate so will take a piccy.

PS Love the Range Rover drivers who think they can go whatever speed because they have 4x4 .. they will learn ....
