Tazio Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well at least it is when you get off the main roads. After driving my way out my Mums scheme like a very slow moving Finnish rally driver I was fine until I almost got home. While driving around looking for a bloody parking space I was driving out a wee side street that has a dip between the side street and the street it goes onto. Little did I know that the dip was basically a puddle of solid ice. It took a fairly embarrassing couple of minutes of increasingly sideways wheel spin before I managed to decimate the ice enough that I could get grip and carry on my way. Still it seemed to amuse the bunch of people who decided to stop and watch me. Bloody rear wheel drive. Be careful out there people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgey55 Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Indeed Taz. It was minus 6 at 9 o'clock on the Queensferry Road. Sidestreets were well dodgy. Was glad to get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nightmare in these conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Indeed Taz. It was minus 6 at 9 o'clock on the Queensferry Road. Sidestreets were well dodgy. Was glad to get home. I'm surprised you get enough speed up to skid, you drive like a girl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemclaren Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Did you hit any dugs this time? One under each rear wheel helps a lot with the traction... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Did you hit any dugs this time? Little buggers have too much traction at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deek Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 My Mrs is taking my car in the morning because it has "bigger tyres". There will no doubt me a formula which makes, Black Ice x Big Tyres x Woman Drivers = Big Spins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
