Did you still have your front number plate on when you returned :-)

I usually lose mine in those conditions.

The track is so small on a Mini and it really shows just how big the platform of modern cars are when you try to drive one in the snow. The ruts left by other cars and the fact that the front end is so close to the deck means you end up using your Mini as a snow plough. I had a few hairy moments in mine a couple of years ago where the ruts forced me and the car into places we didn'y want to go. :D

Well, no snow driving for my mini because in the Netherlands they are very
fond of throwing a lot of salt on the roads. :lol:
DOWNTON Mini is what I like a lot.
