I actually failed to get up an icy hill this morning :(
First time this has ever happened to me. It rained at 6am this morning and the rain froze, so to be expected I suppose.
Still a little dissapointed though.

Why? The world and his mate have been stuck this week.

Nope I have not been stuck at all, it has been a little slippery in places but before today nothing to complain about.

Went through Fairoak as well as I work not far from you.
Southampton was in general a nightmare and they closed Wickham off by 07:30.

Manual or auto?
Still a dedicated manual gearbox enthusiast for the real driver involvement bit but, in terms of sheer 'lets get to work' factor, the autobox with the snow function really works for me.
To say i am pleasantly surprised is an understatement.
We get snow up here perhaps more regularly than you southern 'cheps' and its behaved faultlessly and with no small level of fun. ;) :y

I must say, apart from an incident meaning I could only reverse up my drive, the MV6 auto has behaved impeccably in this weather, despite cars spinning off all around me.

I find the 3.2 auto very controllable. No need for the snow mode in most cases.
The driveway has been challenging a few times, mainly because I can't carry enough speed into it. ::)
Filling the boot with logs and bags of coal was a good move.

Mine has been stuck 3 times, twice in the same place ::) ::) All in reverse.
Our road is sheet ice... Can barely walk on it but the car just pulss along no problems at all, which is more than can be said for the FWD cars that are struggling ;D ;D
