Just thought I'd let you guys know what happened to me on Friday. We had 2-3 inches of fresh snow, and an articulated lorry was trying to go up this hill, well and truly stuck. I asked the driver if he wanted a tow to the top and you guessed, he laughed and said with that " mate I weigh just short of 30 ton". You should have seen, it was great all the way to the top no sweat. I don't care what folk say about traction control, I wouldn't be without it. I wished I'd filmed it now. :D
