Nothing terribly calming about 2 tonnes of RRC sliding on the thin skim of snow-crushed-to-ice that we may get in Kent. After all, it still has the same number of braked wheels as most other vehicles on the road but it weighs a lot more. I remember watching a Jap 4x4 that had cautiously come to a halt on a gentle hill one winter only to see gravity take over and make it slide helplessly downslope on the ice. Driver somehow coaxed it into the curb before it could flatten anyone. My old FIAT
128 was ace in the snow/ice we (infrequently) get down here - narrow wheels and a very light body. My RRC is not much fun at all on main roads in icy conditions. It's OK in fresh or deep snow.Richard
