Nope, didn't go out in the end. Had to drive the car to work yesterday, which was fine, but was a nightmare getting home last night. It started to snow just as I went into Sheffield to pick the wife up from work.
VXR did really well tbh. Biggest issue was other people on the road. I have to go up a rather steep hill to get home, and got almost to the top then had to stop because some pleb in a Punto was sat with his foot on the floor just spinning the wheels. I had to turn TC off to get going again, but once into 2nd gear, was just a case of keeping the car going straight until I got to the top of the hill.
