Not a tight dress to be seen anywhere ;D

Best one got to be the camera car reversing with the large pickup sliding down the hill at an increasing speed.

Coincidentally I watched that video and loads more like it this morning. You don't stand a chance on sheet ice do you.  :o :o

Try explaining that to the average 4x4 driver. Most seem to be under the impression they are 'Mr Invincible' in any adverse driving conditions.

Thats the beauty of being retired....I only drive if absolutely necessary....and that applies to good conditions too ;D
No rush hours....no picking up swmbo or taking her to work as she has retired too :y

It's good fun though .......  ;)  ;) Not sure about this Merc though. 4x4 is one thing, but it's a heavy bugger if it decides it wants to go somewhere other than where the wheels are pointing  :o  ;D And the Omega is hopeless

Feels like driving on snow today when the back end went round with to much throttle on the roundabout  ;D
