In my relatively short driving experience the most scared I've ever been in a car was in my omega; involving hills and snow.




(p.s. and away from public roads the most fun too   )

my omega might be a bit loose on the white stuff but it's still better than theses cars.

I have only ever owned one car WORSE than an Omega for snow. That was an XJ6. The 225 tyres on the elite are even worse than 195s.

We had the first snow for fifty years here 4 years ago and a lot of the locals in front wheel drive Berlingos and the like ended up in the ditches due to lack of skill/practice. We managed but it wasn't that pleasant.

We also get a lot of mud washed out of the olive groves onto the roads after storms and that is like driving on black ice. Not at all pleasant with very little steering. Maybe a set of winter [size=14]3J[/size] wheels and 135 M&S tyres ?!!

Not just any tyres,   M&S tyres

Personally I found in a small downpour of snow the omega was hopeless... some will no doubt say it is my driving  
But I will leave it parked up when the snow starts to fall......
Now with the Range Rovers a different story even with what some may say my driving abilities

all RWD cars suffer in snow compared to FWD unless they have chains or studs regardless of driving

In my old Capri's I would put an Anvil in the boot

Other than the Rangey's, the best car in the snow I found was my Cavalier 1.7 TD, around here there are a hell of alot of hills, one in particular was littered with abandoned cars and yet ode faithful weaved in and out like a trooper....

Funny how when you think of cars that you have had, you actually wonder why you sold them :-?
