pretend soft roaders

they think twice when they see the steel bumper and scaffolding hanging on the outside... oh and the many, many dents :laugh:

the Kuga doing 15 mph was probably a 2wd as the vast majority are

I agree with Darth, it probably was a 2WD.

In addition to the Little Beast I've got a Qashqai 4WD for cruising down the motorway (let's face it, the LB isn't made for motorway cruising) and the Q goes well in the snow and gentle off road stuff.

With the recent snow only 3 cars could get out of our road. The Jimny, the Qashqai and a neighbours Defender.

However, it doesn't matter what car they have. If they can't drive well anyway, they certainly can't cope in the snow. :dry:

Your right there Darth

Really?

I used to find that my battered series III on ex-military tyres with twin steel bumpers lamp guards etc was completely invisible to people in side roads when driving along a main road at 35mph.

I just had to hope they would get out of the way as I had zero grip in the wet :silly:

I had a little run-in with guy who had got his BMW stuck in snow... I was walking past when he called me over to ask me (or rather tell me) to give his car a push. After several minutes of 3 people trying to push his car out the snow he was going nowhere, it didn't help that he didn't have a clue what he was doing.

Eventually we gave up, and I said "it's a pity you don't have a rope, my 4x4 is parked over there"... To which he snarled "You mean you're telling me you drive a 4x4 and don't carry a rope!?!?!"

So I said "You drive a BMW, and you're stuck in the snow."

And then I smiled, and walked away...
