Re: snow driving !
I love the snow - had great fun in my Polo getting to work through 13-inches of snow in February. My route also takes me down a very steep and twisty country lane... All I can say is thank God for ABS breaks
Here I am after dropping by my parents:

Re: snow driving !
Try to separate your steering, braking, gear changes and acceleration as much as you can when you're driving in the snow. Doing it all at once increases the chance of putting the car in to a slide.
Re: snow driving !
crap! my tires don't work at the moment (brand new firestones). 1st and 2nd gears just spin! should be interesting tomorrow - i'll still be going the back roads like

Re: snow driving !
Nice!
We've had lots of snow in Crawley again. It was 8-inches in my garden and it didn't really stop all day yesterday.
Got a couple more pics of the polo in the snow so I'll post up later.
