old skool trick with ford capri's, put in the boot to help keep the arse end in line.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

I used a 3x2 slab oin the boot of my 320i in the mid 90s in the snow and it made a difference.

It's recommended in the handbook for winter driving to carry a bag of ballast
