After the last ones was where we got stuck, no amount of rocking got it out, which wound me up, then finally moved slightly ony to hit the snow covered curb, luckily that helped as I used that to swing the front end round, my youngest laughed at his mate falling over when I hit the curb, well you'll see when the video is done  ;D

Stay in today LZ even the main roads are bad  :o Got some more videos to show you the problems out in Ashford too  :y

Yes I am today Del as I didn't need to go anywhere.  Just as well judging by how the snow has fallen again.  Not surprised even the main roads are bad now.  Yesterday the road up to Canterbury was not good. ;)

if its a manual you can try directly 3rd gear to move..

One of the big beemer,

(http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii38/GrizzlyLiam/8aaa7a22.jpg)

This car is seriously awful in the snow, absolutely terrible, any slight bit of slush, ice, snow, a single snow flake, stability control steps in because it starts spinning, I've got a video of how easy it spins too  :o
