Now I can boot her and get the tyres spinning up without fancy electronics trying to stop me crashing. Foot hard down and she's chattering and squirming as the tyres try to claw through the fresh snow. Up to 60 mph on the straights and then nail the brakes for the corners. ABS juddering and the Toyos on the back trying to overtake the M&S tyres on the front. Opposite lock into the slides, heart in mouth as I think we're going to skid off the road and hit the stone dyke by the field on a steep downhill 90 degree bend but she slows down enough to slide round the corner arse end first and then straightens up as I throttle her through the snow again.
Tail lights half a mile up ahead. There's someone else braving the conditions. I can see it's a 4x4 picking its way gingerly through the packed snow. I boot her harder to try and catch it up. I get to the next junction just as he does but he turns off towards the main road and I don't want to play on cleared gritted roads. I want to play on packed snowy ones. I turn off the other way into six miles of steep hills and 90 degree bends. Six miles into Methlick and then I turn round and six miles back. Enough already. I've burned off the adrenalin now and proved I can get up any hill round here.
Maybe time to put M&S tyres on the back too as the Toyos are not happy in these conditions. God that was fun though.
