Winter hits Europe hard.

Now winter is winter and we do get some snow. But this year Winter has been real busy during the last two weaks. Snow... more Snow... and so on. In Switzerland... well lots lots lots of snow...
In StGallen, home of Hirsch Performance... 24 Inches of snow so far. I let you picture out the effect on a city.
Where I live, 8 inches.
The streets are covered with snow and ice... and quite a few RWD cars get stuck as soon as there is a slight hill.
FWD and AWD cars do OK... but the large amount of German RWD cars keep creating accidents cause of excessive speeds (ESP can not defeat physics) or cause they simply slide off the streets. Ot they simply block everyone.
What I also noted is the iresponsible behaviour of many AUDI and VW drivers that drive AWD cars fitted with ESP. They race around in total disrespect of the fact that traction and breaking are two different things.
Last night I was driving on the freeway in my AWD car at +/- 35Mph like the rest when a S class Benz passed us all at a speed well above 60Mph and the lane it was on was covered with snow.
Regards,
Coolknight
