On std tyres it's interesting, last year I said I would buy some winter tyres for the snow. Never did.
Gentle is the key, fun in big car parks though

You'll be able to pull away and get up hills but you won't be able to stop or go round corners any other way than sideways

It's O.K if you take it carefully and pull out the ABS fuse or brake very, very, very gently and get ready to grab the handbrake !!

best to leave the handbrake alone, you shouldnt really apply the handbrake on these cars anyway when in motion, unless you want to chew the brownstuff out the gear box

Beaware that pulling the ABS fuse on the bugeye onwards as well as some earlier STi's also defeats the EBD. You end up with no brake bias control and have the possibility of the rears locking first.

Cheers

Yep, snowing her in North Sheffield. Starting to get a covering.

Scooby is covered..bless her....she'll be all cold.

I don't know whether to be excited or scared. UK Turbo...plenty of tread on the fron tyres (but Crappy make) a bit low on the rears (Bridgestone Potenza's). Should I take the scooby out tomorrow?
