Porr girl
Sad thing that today people enjoy filming the misery of others for pure entertainment
What if she'd been run over??
They call
her an idiot......I have a few names for them

As with 99% of comments on YouTube, a very few were sensible and the rest juvenile.. as were the prats who filmed it. Nothing at all to do with BMW+Snow+Woman.. BMW+SNOW would do. I've had a Z4 in my car park all week because the driver (male I might add) dare not risk taking it up the hill past the pub. Rear wheel drive cars are notoriously fickle in snow and having a posh badge on the front makes no difference. Not seen one Skoda stranded

I have to shamefully admit that while driving on the beltway, which was covered in snow, an SUV passed me by at a dangerous speed for the conditions. A mile later I noticed he had run into the median and was stuck. I had to laugh, even though I knew I should really stop and offer to help. OK, I didn't want to get stuck myself, at least that is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I think I'd have done the same Nigel but there are differences between someone driving like a grade A plonker and some poor woman trying to get out of her drive
Oh.. the Z4 driver managed to move his car yesterday evening. He came in the pub last night and told us he's had it washed and it's staying in the garage until the snow has gone

Yesterday I bought the present Mrs Speedbird a new MX-5 with low profile tyres. She's totally terrified of driving her old Micra if the temperature drops below 5C! I'm hoping that all this will have thawed by next week when she picks it up or I'm going to have to have a conversation about rear wheel drive. I really don't want to do that yet ...
Hey, Eddie! A little job for you, mate!

My mate used to have an old Capri. It's was only 1.6 but he had fitted massive carbs and hot cams ect and it went like stink. When it snowed or was dead icy we would go down to the cash n carry carpark after hours and do comedy power slides and 4 wheel drifts ect. Massive fun
As for stopping to help people. A few weeks ago I was stopped at the side of the road trying to clean the muck off my crash hat's visor when a fellow biker in his car stopped to see if I was ok or run out of fuel ect.
