Following our successful SMACS skid training day, I thought I would put into practice what I had learned and have been out down the local trading estate give it some in the snow.

Lots of fun as usual, lets hope there is some still around tomorrow.

 

Snow You’re kiddin aren’t you.
Not possible - We’ve not even had any here in Wales yet!



And - well if you’ve done this - I take it you’ll be making an insurance claim for all the damage to your car and every shop on the estate in sight

 

So did you spin a few times then lol

Wish I had the scoob back

Ps Carl its snowing like mad up here

 

Not snowing here, yet.

 

Lucky you lot

No snow in Merseyside yet

 

No snow here either..... (Leeds)

 

andy, let us know what the snows like tomorrow
dai, we can get over to andy's tomorrow, i'll bring me snowboards
a full day of driftin and boardin

 

Its stopped now and its melting fast.

The Crocus was not too bad in the snow LOL

 

Melting here too now

Was fun while it lasted.

 

ow yeah just been out and put the skid training to use and had a little fun at the same time

 

i wasnt going out in the zx its bad enough round corners as it is

 

 

Adam remember that pic of me where you was dangling out of petes window have you still got it?

 

After finishing work tonight, and with a massive snow ridden private car park to play on, i thought id give my classic some beans with a full lock on and do some lovely donuts
But all i managed to do was do some rather quick circles with a little drifing (almost did a full 360 donut) but it wasnt like i expected it to be doing perfect donuts whilst tanning the juice peddle
What am i doing wrong, thought it would be really easy, but it turned out to be solid, bloody 4 wheel drive, way too much grip if you ask me

 

Think you need a bit of black ice then you will be rocking

 

no! that was on my camera

i should still have them somewhere

what event was it coming home from?

 

You need to get some lock on and give the handbrake a bit of a tug to get a spin started, then beans it in 1st
Keep an eye on your temp gauge though, with no airflow over the rad or intercooler it soon starts climbing

My XR4x4 was always better at them than my scoob, more power at the rear

 

Then there was a guy in the renault that decdiced he was going to be in on the action

High Peak

 

-5 on The Cat this morning with patchy gritting thanks to the K**B in the blue Saab who overtook do you not think that I want to drive at 60 plus? But guess what when it's -5 that usually means ice and in this case black ice. If you want to drive like a plank do it somewhere else.

End of rant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
