Chaos in UK! Thought our friends in colder climates would appreciate this.

Was it icy, does not seem like much snow unless they are all on summer tires or its icy.

Last winter in the Sunny South USA

I drove my G29 in snow for the first time last night and was quite impressed by how it handled. It was certainly better than a few front wheel drive cars I've owned over the years.

But, the car doors are a nightmare when frozen as they open but can't shut as the window can't automatically lower. It takes at least 10 minutes of 'warming up' before the windows can lower to allow the door to close. Never had this issue before with previous soft tops but if we experience a hard winter the car would be a complete pain to use.
