Don't ever drive a GTI in the snow!

I think the S3 sportback looks awesome in white. A small drop, set of 19's, black roof and mirrors and you're rockin' :happy2: :jumpmove:

well, other issue is 3 doors are 19k+ plus on autotrader, the only 5 door on there is 30k :sad:
T88OMM:
Yeah well there is that I suppose. They will soon be coming down, I reckon you will be able to pick one up for 24-25k in a few months :happy2:

I wondered when you might mention this Tom when I saw your Facebook status.. :grin: Close call by the sounds of it.. :scared:
I had a similar episode in my old CTR about 5 years ago. Was coming down a hill near me in the snow (as cars in front managed it fine, thought I would be ok :driver: ). As I got halfway down (only travelling about 3mph) my car just started sliding and that was it, out of my hands. I was heading straight for the junction with the main road :surprised: and no matter what I did (including trying to mount the curb) it just slid. Ended up sliding sideways onto the main road and coming to a rest and thank fook that exact min there was no traffic. :innocent:
The car that was approaching further down the road must have wondered what the hell I was doing, as I ended up facing the wrong way on his side of the road.. :grin:
Biggest problem is, cars with wider wheels will always struggle as they have a lot wider surface area on the snow/ice. That's why old sheds with skinny wheels that cut through the snow better make you look like a right tit... :P
