Driving in snow or especially on ice is a lot of fun, when you have learned how your car handles on such surfaces and you have the possibility to drive somewhere outside traffic, like on a frozen lake. At least that's how most of the Finnish rally and race car champions have trained driving in their early days.

I think I was 6 or 7 when I drove a car for the first time on some country roads, and 8 when I drove one on the ice for the first time. It happened on a small frozen lake nearby my grandparents' farm. One of those days I still remember like it was yesterday, had so much fun competing against the neighbour's kid. I drove a '79 Ford Escort which surely took a beating that day as it spun around countless times in the snowbanks and got pretty smashed up in the end.
