She was driving uphill on a very exposed and snowy road. The two cars in front of her skidded off in either direction and she continued to cruise up through the middle. She says there was a bit of a scrabble between the cars behind to get into her tracks. She felt a little uneasy being at the front, but our old 900i didn't fail. I miss that car - flat nose bumpers too ... Great in snow :) We live in one of the highest altitude towns in the north of England. They say our village has it's own weather system ... Usually above the clouds :) Since this is turning into a "cool things about my SAAB" kind of thread, I like the vacuum powered air vents. They rule ... No end of fun!
