Dundee has rather unexpectedly had 6-8 inches of snow this morning and all I can say is what a car, I sat patiently at the bottom of a hill watching an assortment of small hatch backs spinning all over the place, my turn came and quietly off I went up the hill, not drama at all... £350 well spent if you ask me :)

My ph 1 T5 did very well in the snow and slush too, very reminiscent of my AWD in Winter last year, Gary
