there's more where that came from, get the magazine, it's only 1599 Euro a year..

Custom work never comes cheap, but it's worth every cent.

Dear member: I have come up with a solution to the dreaded situation you describe. Drive with the parking brake engaged.

nonsense, that's not the advice you would get from a quality magazine like mine.
The P-brake would overheat, glaze up and lose it's braking ability in no time.

Sometimes I just like to play it safe and leave it in first gear. Tends to result in an annoying noise coming from behind the car. Sounds like a symphony of horns.

that's the redneck solution, this is a Gentlemen's magazine.
Any advice given, as such, will be something with style, fit for a gentleman.

Rally car with FWD? that's just to easy Sid, kid's stuff. for real

You need to use the 44 for that, learn to unbalance the backend by engine braking, and catching it again... (no other way to do it in a 44, as the Pbrake is in the wrong location for nimble steering, shifting, and P-braking).
It helps if you got a spare set of front wheels, put those in the back for a narrower track, that improves snow handling.
