Me and the Mrs got bored the Monday after Christmas and decided to go for a run out. A couple of hours later ended up in Munich in the worst weather they have had in years.
A3 was clear all the way down. Yes the tops were white but nothing to put us off. The road was clear and we made very good progress. Pulled of a road by the Olympic park and all hell broke loose.
The car was completely uncontrollable. We ended up having an escort by white van driver who sat behind us to our hotel by the main station after spinning it twice.
We abandoned the car and waited till the side road, the hotel was on was cleared and gritted before making our escape.
To round it off everything was closed so i never even got to the museum...
CSL and snow did not mix.
Winter tyres would have made a difference as there was a lot of Mercs and BMW's driving around as if nothing was there.
Chatting with the bar manager he told me they have more accidents in the snow with 4wd than 2wd. People think 4wd is a route to go anywhere and will attempt to go over the passes to there peril.
