I was doing some sweet snow drifting on the way to work this morning. It's a good thing there was bugger all people on the road.

[scott.mohekey]

I found that you could get it to step out nicely, but the AYC would quickly correct the slide (quite violently sometimes).

Happy i have one car without ayc so i can go round and round haha, no cars or people on my street

[scott.mohekey]

Our street isn't big enough for that.. let alone the fact its mostly pot holed gravel after the earthquakes and the council's ****ty repairs.

[Oggie]

Yeah, pretty much.

i had a nasty encounter similar to that on the desert road once in my Inspire... man did i think i was gonna kark it somethign aweful.

[Fully]

lol temporary repairs only, until the council know what they are doing.
They put all contracts on hold after September 4th, then some were put out just before feb 22nd. Now everything is on hold apart from the southern motorway and Johns road.

[scott.mohekey]

This was FUN though! lol.

[Johny]

my car fully span out around an 85 km bend at 5 am this morning lol

[Johny]

[scott.mohekey]

Is it 4wd?

[Johny]

[Fully]

Was going to drive to work,I don't want to use my bumper as a plough 6-8 inches on the drive way!

[horndog]

,I don't want to use my bumper as a plough 6-8 inches on the drive way!

Yea, tow eye covers dont like that, :(

[scott.mohekey]

I have to reverse out, so it shouldn't be too bad, and it doesn't look too deep on the road either.

[taylor]

Pull the big orange thing on the abs unit. Will disable abs and ayc. Both useless in snow

[scott.mohekey]

You mean the connector?

[taylor]

Yes.

[scott.mohekey]

Is that how you get a new bumper?

[karlous54]

Still couldnt move the car this arvo, now we are having another big front come over us now
