I used the S2 to get to work today, main roads were bumper to bumper so I decided to take a country road shortcut shortcut over some hills! Sad to say the car didn't make it and I had to turn back
.
I passed about 5 stranded cars on the hill (which goes on for 1.5 miles) and to be fair the S2 never broke traction. Problem was that at the top there was over 1ft of snow and it grounded itself. (around the towns and lower areas theres only a couple of inches so I didnt expect that. Probably didnt help that the only tracks on the road were from a tractor which left the middle very high. A slight amount of digging out and I was abe to reverse back down the road into a disused farmyard and turn.
Lesson learned, even on snow tyres, the S2 isn't a tractor!
Still, no damage done and I was very impressed by what it was capable of. Plain stupidity to try it but it got progressivley worse as I went up the hill and I didn't want to stop and turn. Was only a 1/4 mile from the end by the time it got stuck.

That would look fantastic on the front of an S2.
but it does the trick in the snow and manky back roads...
