Front wheel drive, believe it or notIt's a Mazda 3 Sport. 17" tyres don't seem to help it's grip on the ice though.

So I should be loading my boot with something heavy?- the decomposing corpse of my ex-wife, for example?
Wrapped in sturdy tarpaulin obviously - wouldn't want to stain the carpet.

Not the boot, if it's FWD.Strap her to the bonnet.
