Wonder what Pacerpete's Fellatio is like, what with his extra ballast and all? All that slush must certainly have curtailed his kerb-crawling somewhat, I imagine.

I got mine moving again today :) It leaped over the crusty snow hedge that was still surrounding it and had a nice battery charging romp to the shops. \o/

Been having a few traction issues http://s175.photobucket.com/albums/w141 ... snow-1.flv

There's also a clip of a near-miss but for some reason the last two seconds of the clip seem to have been chopped off - sometimes it plays it, sometimes it skips it.

My m3 is fun in the snow

But the back end is to light and springs are to hard getting it out of the shed was tricky the e36 m3 is a lot better in the snow.

Took mine out a couple of times in the snow, only drama was pulling away with a heavy right foot (no lsd) -- instant rear end break away, easily cured though dropping the clutch and a foopin laugh if I'm honest looking at all the homos nursing their front wheel drives while I'm teasing an oversteer getaway in the snow from the lights :D

not a lot of chance of that! the closest i'd get to a track day from the wife would be a letter bomb from the ex wife! :P

methinks you're confuddling me with someone else :)

this is the one i'm, doing, in my 335 touring

Owww yeah I am getting you muddeled with someone on here who's wife got him a track day where you get to drive a super car.

Personally I like the kind of present where a women ends up swallowing a bodily fluid of mine. Then a present from my self would be next winkeye
