Gazboy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 If you can answer yes to any of these questions: a) sheet ice on road? b) Supra has spazzed geometry? c) you are an incompetent tool? then stay at home, otherwise just carry on with your business.

Robert Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Good lord, it's central london, you're hardly going to be driving on a ice road, just take care and don't boot it and you will be fine, simple. No lakes of ice, no animals crossing the road just drive sensible, can't be that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
