Wow you have a pet than can beat anyone else's, a daughter who could wipe the lot of us out when she's driving! Would you care to mention were you get your rose tinted glass's from or is it the scotts porridge oats you eat up there?
Of course the zed is @*!# in the snow, what were you expecting from a near 300 bhp rwd car in the winter? FFS the MK1 73bhp Punto i had for 4 years was faster in the snow than the zed or any other high powered rear wheel drive car for that matter. Hence why my zed stays in the garage at this time of year, they were not designed with snow in mind and especially Scottish roads after all the travel chaos created up there
