Based on a couple previous scary moments, I find a front-wheel-drive car a
little more secure when the surface gets really slippery. Also, if the snow
gets deep the skinnier tyres (to cut through the snow) and the increased
ground clearance of the Uno may help. Primarily, though, I'm thinking of
Daffy's well-being - the damp weather is bound to accelerate the rust as it
is, without driving her around when the roads have been salted, to make it
even worse!
Glad to hear the weather is as bad down your way as it is up here, at least
I'm not missing out on anything! BTW, did you ever find that chrome strip
for the back of the hard-top?
