ha, a warning for what? it's private land they can ask you to leave, and if you don't they can get the police in who can ask you to leave, that's about it...

It dont really matter what setting you have it on when in the snow, you could be in reverse FFS just make sure you dont over do it, you wont need much throttle and just feather it so that it's kept nicely under control. Also make sure you dont do it for long periods as the temps will rise steady as no cold air will be getting to the intercooler

Be careful you don't get done for dangerous driving.

what I mean is if it's in ASDAs carpark which would be private land, then asda can do nothing but ask you to leave. That won't stop the police from doing you for 'dangerous driving' if they think that's what you're doing, but ASDA can't don anything themselves.

Well that's alright then? I'd be so pissed off if I got banned from Asda but a jail term or massive fine is no big deal.

i dont think thats right, as its a the carpark is open to public access which the police can do you for. when i was younger i used to go to rally dance's which were on private farmland, which we thought was fine to sleep in our vehicles overnight(after a few bevvies) and drive home the following afternoon when safe to drive. unfortunately for my mate he had a knock on his winddow at 3am by police, who breathalysed him and arrested for failing. as it was classed as a public event the police were entitled to do this.
dont get me wrong i love having a play in the car in the snow but just be careful where you go.ATB Rob

It doesnt matter what setting you do it in really, I was having fun in a car park last night the further to lock you put it the more sideways you can go

I have none of this ACDC trickery and mine has no problems doing whatever i want it to. It will donut and f.o.e sideways, which i was told looked the biz last year. Much more controlable than my BMs'.

As long as your not to aggresive and 'fly by the seat of your pants' i find just about anything can be achived when on the white stuff. Be carefull.

I see what your saying but when you change from open to lock it creates a totally different slide/handling experience

Even if your the best driver in the world you cant alter physics

You can produce doughnuts in the snow, with fully back setting but can spin on the spot with fully locked setting. The main thing is steering angle and throttle position
