Why wimps go south for winter

I've done the going backwards back down the hill your trying to drive up in my old 3.0 Z4 - pretty scary when neither brakes nor throttle do anything to stop you :o

I did in my first car. Facing sliding down a narrow street lined with parked cars either side or hitting a wall at around 10mph I chose the wall! I pictured my dads face then and ended up stopping without hitting anything, front 2 wheels on the pavement and back 2 on the road at 90 degrees. s**t myself and am very cautios in snow and ice with winter tyres to help! :driving:
 
That will be why you are a successful businesswoman and I am a clapped out adrenalin junkie..

(With dented vehicles.)
 
Brilliant, the guy who made the mistake of getting out his car :lol:
 
I can drive on pure ice with those on, unlike the "all weather" ones which were desperate.

Although on some of the roads shown, even winters would not have been enough and it would have needed spikes.
 
Brdgestone Blizzaks..... a sandbag in the trunk and Quattro drive (or a Landrover etc) and winter snow becomes a playground. :D :D
my only problem is the idiots on the road without snow tires and ballast.... and can't drive to save their lives.

I've driven in Canadian winters for 40 years and I've never seen ice rain like in the video.....yowch!
 
Wow scary yet amusing stuff. Like the lorry snow bomb. Could have had a similar moment couple of years back, went to visit a friend who lives on an island in the Thames. It was December cold, snowy and icy (yes even in London). A small bridge connected the road and island and I got up it eventually then at the top wondered what to do as looking down it was all icey and then there was a wall. I was stuck. I actually thought I was going to lose control and slide down, then feared reversing and ending up sliding backwards onto the main road and getting hit. Had a panic, real girl moment and didn't know what to do then decided to call the boyfriend at the time for some advice and thankfully all was ok.

I chuckled but was annoyed the 'commentators' didn't help her, I would have, she looks hot for starters and drives a BMW!
