Yep the scoob's not bad in the snow but,not with intermedate boots.
so i was booked in for new hooves today 5 pm.
on my arrival i find out the guy with the tyres could't turn up.
talk about not impressed.
the air was blue,so very gingerly went to pic the kid's up on the slicks.
comes to the bottom of my street,spoted a bit of grip on the floor
and went for it.about 0.5 sec later i remember kid's in back and eased off, big mistake .
the car started to slide back oh **ck the wall ,i was looking at a major backender. it seemed i had nothing to lose,so a quick flick of the handbrake and the car came paralell with the wall and somehow stopped 2inches from the wall not a scratch.
so there is a god after all.

done a similar thing last night... No kids tho.
Went in search of some nice ice/snow to have a bit of fun and found a lovely car park belonging to some small little company called Tesco. Brand new tarmac and a nice layer of ice on it.
Started to have a bit of fun with a few power slides and doughnuts. Had one of my mates filming it. All the trolley boys and security guards came out to watch aswell.
Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere this ruddy great big metal post appeared out of nowhere and i was doing about 60mph sideways sliding straight at it, with a quick relaease of the power and a dab of the trusty handbrake i managed to stop the slide short and slip into a doughnut.......
To say my ass was flapping is an understatement. Still got a massive round of applause though !
And i even managed a smile when i got out of the car
Bit irresponsible of Tesco to put a silly metal fence in their car park just to put your trolleys in dont you think ??????

Guys,

do you have the trick handbrake gadget thingymebob?? My understanding is without it you bugger up your diffs if you pull up the handbrake when the wheels are in motion

Can anyone confirm this???

you'll only bugger up the diff if you try putting power to the wheels while also applying the handbrake
