This article appeared in a Toronto Newspaper yesterday.

Worth reading.

But, not to worry, you won't get that kind of weather here!

"Look where you want to go, that is generally where your hands will take you."

I lost concentration when they mentioned "tittering middle-aged divorcees"

The training, besides making us better drivers, proves the Mini Cooper a safe and reliable form of winter transport. If you own a Mini, says Mr. Savoy, you do not need a second car for the winter: "It's great in the snow."

Great article Rygold. Thanks!

Big, icy parking lots are the next best thing for learning how to control a car.
