Hi Simon

I was talking to friend yesterday who took delivery of a brand new 4x4 last month yet he was just getting in to a fiesta! when asked why he put it in to a wall 2 days ago after slowly slipping down a slope on black ice.

It doesn't matter what you drive, Sledge is still sledge when going down hill
