Cool





Everytime you go over a ridge where the snow is higher than the lip, you get a windscreen-full of it

Leaves a lovely flat looking mark behind

Watch the engine temps, James, I had this in my P1 in France an dha dto keep stopping to clear the snow as the radiator wasn't getting any air.

Very jealous, only had a dusting in London

Take the chin extension off. Doesn't do anything aerodynamic at the speeds you'll be doing in these conditions, and as FB says, all that snow in the air inlet doesn't do anything for radiator efficiency or under-bonnet temps in general.

ive been stuck on a hill myself just before
3/4 way up

4 wheels spinning
car going from side to side and nothing else brought the revs down to 2000 rpm in 1sr gear to try and crawl up

no joy
whacked it second and reved it right up and it crawled up at about 0.005mph
just testing to see what it can do
