Realising that snow tyres aren't much use against a 30 degree slope covered in sheet ice after driving down without any hassle.

Turned the traction control off, floored it till I ended up sliding backwards / sideways in a puff of smoke, aimed for the grassy ditch at the side of the road & then managed to get one wheel onto it (which was a fair achievement as the steering wheel was pretty much useless). My right wheel on the grassy bit gave me just enough traction to slowly crawl up the ice & onwards to freedom.
Cheers funcy diff.

Re: Don’t you just hate...
Spending all weekend prepping a car for it's MOT, passing said MOT with one repair to do, then the fcuking clutch slave cylinder dying the next night...
Wonder if the courier with a new one will turn up tomorrow or not?
On a positive note it appears I can still remember how to drive with no clutch!
