Mine done me proud last night she went up a hill like a train while a BMW was skidding lol

7" of snow is pretty significant for a small car! lol

FWD is generally better than RWD but the 133 isn't really cut out for snowy driving, wide non-winter tyres, not the best ground clearance either.

We've only got 4-5" of snow here but our cars aren't moving until it's melted! haha

I'm stuck at carries. Shame :lol:

Twingo RS with Pirelli winter 190 snowcontrol serie2 is very good on snow and muuuch fun at 20centimeters of snow and TC is doing job well!

I'm stuck at carries. Shame :lol:

i am sure you are devastated u stuck there

 

[Chicken]

Got to agree with Alex. FWD is better for the snow/ice than a RWD. Also means with the handbrake and an empty car park you can drift and not get stuck

 

[Oizo_133]

TC and ESP off and let the handbrake free will

 

[olliehemingway]

Can you turn the tc and ESP off in the twingo's??..

Should be a button under left if steering wheel for tcs on the RS I think but my GT there's no button no the gap for it

 

[Oizo_133]

olliehemingway .. under the steering wheel is the button .. (between your legs)

waitey : only RS is having that

 

[olliehemingway]

Really so my silverstone had a button for me to turn the tc off..? Sweet! Can't wait to try it!

Does a light or something come on to tell you that the tc is off?
