Agreed there mike 
I have to admit that the scorp is probably THE worst handling snow car i've ever owned - a combination of RWD, light back end and automatic gearbox 
The powers that be have granted me a day off, so im currently fitting a set of snow tyres i have tucked away to the old girl to see if matters improve.
Think im off to ebay to order some snow chains too lol

my scorpio handled the snow a hell of a lot better than my cab , couldnt get cab off my drive , but car was ok in the snow , albeit very carefully (had to get money in the bank) otherwise wouldnt have bothered , only tricky bits were if i had to pull over
