it's cold outside -

it's ruddy cold outside and I've noticed a few things and below I have gathered together a few of these musings..

an MR2 isn't terrible on snow / ice it's just far better than me
ABS is quite happy to lock up all 4 wheels in snow on ice and ignore the car itself is still doing 20mph!
gearboxes and heel and toe gearshifts work better in snow than brakes
the above does require a tap on the brake pedal otherwise the guy behind gets one hell of a fright!
sideways in your works carpark doesn't always upset the security guard - he now thinks I'm 12! Generous of him I say lol
bolt together modifications very rarely are that :( more money down the pan

Take it easy out there folks
