Z4 + Snow

Pah, I'm leaving the Z4 in my garage until the idiots on the road learn how to cope with a little bit of snow. Come on, it's hardly anything where I am!
I commuted as normal this morning: on my cyclocross bike (like a road bike with drop handlebars and big wheels, but with knobbly tyres like an MTB). Got some strange looks funnily enough :?

Well I haven't had much fun this morning, shovelling snow asking people to help push my car so it will move and eventually abandoning it on a hill. It is stuck despit 4 people trying to push it and a shovel, I am covered in sweat after all the shovelling and really fed up.
Not a flake in Lichfield - freezin' cold clear sunny day.
No fun here then

I`m with ya on that, I don`t see the fun of snow unless you live and only have to commute in a totally flat area or have some snow tyres. ALl-season tyres are just treacherous in such conditions. WHere I am we only had a dusting of snow yet it didn`t stop some munter from knocking over a lampost this morning whle I drove past sideways but at least in control
I hit a long straight icy road this morning and had to drive so slow I was being overtaken by peasants in crappy cheap FWD trash
. What was more annoying was that one fool decided to tailgate real close instead of just overtaking me like the rest did - surely they must of realised I was driving slow for a reason, I even indicated to the left hoping they`d take the hint and overtake. Although in control I coudln`t go any faster as I was behind another car also struggling. That`s what concerns me more about icy/snowy conditions, it`s the OTHER fools on the road to be afraid of. Had I of spun the car I probably would have taken the fool behind me the nearest hedge also.ali_b said:Aebous said:
OK Aebous, thats the before, now show us the 'afters' !! Theres enough room for a figure of 8 there
Actually that's all grass right there, My car is one of the first few spots on pavement. When I got released the people who lived on base had to stay (they make people leave at different times) and there were too many cars scattered about for me to really enjoy myself.

Its times like that you must be grateful for being in one of the coldest most godforsaken parts of the UK! 
I work in the print so we have early starts, I was up a five this morning trying to get to Tonbridge. Must of had about an inch of snow in Sutton, Surrey but that was enough. Couldn't get the dame car on the road. I live in a flat which has a small incline, all I was doing was lighting up the rears in 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Had to wait till all the other residents went to work before I could get the Zd on the road. Once I was on the road all was alright. Did get held up on the A21 for about 1.5 hours but that was it.
I must of past about 30 abandoned cars on the A21, some in the ditch and some just left on the on the road, 50% of them must have been BMWs
