My car is a front wheel drive 3.5litre behemoth which is easy in snow.
Just do everything carefully and the back-end catches up eventually. 

which front wheel drive car has an engine that big, just curious !

It's a 1998 Honda Legend.


It's bland looking, about the size of an LS400 Lexus/ 7-Series BMW/ S-class Merc.
Gets 22Mpg  but is comfy and very quiet. 
Has 208bhp which is nothing special these days but has some get up and go.
Mine has 134,000 miles and is getting a bit ropey.

Hi Boomer

It is with great interest, that I read your post regarding 4x4 TWATS . I must add that I drive a big 4x4 a Landrover with big nobby winter tyres, special winter settings that assist traction control in snow/icy conditions

However saying that I dont drive like a twat  I too am a class1 police driver, Iam member, Lgv 1,
presently working for the DSA, regularly have updates with driving courses etc, on the contary I carry break down equipment tow rope etc and only recently pulled a stranded car driver out of a snow packed car park

So please dont tar all 4x4 drivers with the same brush

Why is every one an expert police rider driver on here.
I use 4x4 for work as I genuinely need one all year as work with over head electricity.
I have had them all over the years. Landrovers hi Lux range rovers warriors.
Got the best ever had now. Goes any where really light turns on a penny basic & cheap to
Suzuki Jimny.

I've had 4X4s since 1993, its pretty much essential in this part of the world

I don't consider myself a "twat" driver...BTW Im LGV or (HGV as some may know better) too.[/ :wink:b]

[Boomer]

Do you drive your 4x4 past other cars while driving in 6" deep snow @ 40Mph?
Didn't think so.

I don't tar anyone with a brush.
If they drive like a TWAT then I tar them by dipping them in the tar barrel, and if at all possible holding them under, whilst describing their ancestry and sexual habits. 

"4x4 twat" is a twat driving a 4x4.
It doesn't mean all 4x4 drivers are twats,.... or that all twats drive 4x4s.

As for the popcorn,..... yum!

I'm afraid to say so, but IMHO everyone who drives a 4x4 and doesn't need to drive off-road is a twat! 
Best for snow is a decent Enduro with mud tyres anyway.

That'd be me then.
