How smug am I!

Just been to collect wifey from hospital through the snowy chaos that is currently Norwich.
While all around me were sliding and slipping, my F2 chugged up hill and down dale without a moments hesitation.
Didn't even have to engage the "snow" terrain response malarkey.
Bloody marvellous!
Having just bought the car I did have my doubts about whether I'd ever exploit the capabilities but tonight proved me wrong.
Roll on more snow...

Well done - Norwich is chaos at the moment - worth every penny the FL2

England 

Seems like Norwich was the Hot Spot today, or cold spot as the case may be. I drove from Lancs to Epsom and back today, seen very little in the way of snow.

Staggering amount of idiots, this morning peering through a key hole, all day peering through the smear as they had no water and this evening from motorway to home is 3 miles and I counted no less than 23 cars with one headlight out, I was bored and the first one cut me up so I counted them all....rant over

Anyway, back on topic, I was Smug, Snug n smitten all 500 miles, covered 45000 all together now and it still impresses. Thumbs Up

Glad you like it Russ, it is certainly a capable car.

The standard 19" Conti's. I guess it would have been even better with winter tyres?

Just checked the weather, the BBC say that a sprinkle of snow will come my way on Friday.

I'm not getting too excited though, they normally get it wrong. Laughing

My mums old Alfa Romeo 147 was great in the snow. I remember driving it in the snow and going past BMW X5s and Mercs that got stuck even in a light sprinkle of snow. Rolling with laughter

It didn't even have snow tyres!

Just shows how a little front - wheel - drive Italian hatchback can go more places than massive German executive cars!
