I agree that Subaru's are far more superior than most in these weather conditions but it depends on how the car is set up. I remember last year when we had all that snow, my car was like a snowplough with the front splitter and 35 profile tyres didnt help with traction.
lol my classic did the same last year although the lack of tracktion was probably because of the tyres I had on them with hardly any tread. The front I think cleared the snow but it wasn't exactly slammed.
Sadly, I Think its time to sell the scoob. Loved every minute of the last two years but it's too much of a drain on finances considering it sits on my drive all week as I catch the train to work. Plus now having another daughter and the mrs packing her job in to look after her. So think we're gonna sell both our cars and buy one between us. Any idea how much mines worth?

Nossy, have you got a classic then? Thought you had a Blob

I used to have a classic got rid of it recently. I only came to the meets in the blob though. The exhaust on the classic was really loud and would have been good on tunnel runs but the engine etc were on its way out so my blob became my main car.
Here's a bit of footage i took today with my Gopro Hero 2 that i bought the other day, i feel a Tunnel Run Coming on, just need to swop the casings over to loose the wind noise.
Since I only have an estimate of my cars power after a road re map I fancy having a quick power run on the rollers. Can anyone recommend a rolling road for a cheap power run?
