Forecasters predicting 5-10 cm's of snow today Just a quick poll to see who is parking their car up nice and safe and who is thinking lets go have some fun. I know what my plans are.

 

This car wont be leaving the garage during the snow, i have had enough fun in the snow with previous scoobs plus enough near misses

besides the missus 330d Msport will be stuck on the drive and blocking it in

 

Will be a first in the snow for me. So will be giving it ago, can't wait.
The mrs ml500 will be used for the family tho.
Safety for the family

 

i doubt it will snow in the north west!

 

Just a light dusting here, but I'm sure more to come.

 

Fueled up and ready to go although a little gutted that the weathers this cold as I was going for a play in an MP4 12C at Dovehouse Motors

 

no snow!! just a bit of rain.

 

no snow here

 

Don't think the 3 series or the mx will be getting very far

 

Well unless your car is equipped with snow tyres I wouldnt be taking it out in the snow, dont be fooled that the AWD system is fantastic in the snow, its only as good as the tyres you have fitted, and winter/snow tyres do far better in snow than summer tyres (better braking, grip etc).

we're not due to get it til 6pm, should make my saturday night drive home fun, not.

 

Just started here

 

This is so true, i remember being fooled by that illusion years ago approaching a road about at 70mph and somehow managing to steer the car sideways around two other vehicles and the roundabout it self when the brakes failed


Lesson learned the scary way!

 

how bad ? can't see it making it as far as bple

 

All tucked up in the garage, battery conditioner, car cover and all.... I`ll be in our 1.0 Suszki swift, on skinny winter tyres, much more formidable beast in the snow.

 

Just a light dusting at the moment.

 

Nothing in Blackpool yet, loved it a couple of years ago in me Capri, sideways everywhere!

 

Oh I'll definitely by going out. Filming it for youtube too :P

 

ok cheers , may go for a blast up over north molton later . wifes ibiza gti has michilin m+s tyres on

 

Having only collected my baby from having lots of new bits put on her yesterday and she feels totaly different to drive im going to leave her at home if it snows as I almost have to re learn how she handles again. And thats best saved for better weather imoh.

 

no snow in watford yet. And being a lorry driver i prey it stays away

 

Don’t have the choice. I have to go to work but I finish tonight when it comes down heaviest in Southampton apparently. Question is do I take the Mk1 MR2 and slide everywhere or do I take the Scooby?





Has to be awd

Just hope the 3 different tyres fitted grip.

 

Same here buddy.

Expect to see the 'Subaru parts' section overwhelmed in the next few days lol. There's gonna be some write offs I'm sure.

 

Managed last year in the Mk1 MR2 with summer tyres on so hopfully the scooby should behave A lot better?

 

SNOW WATCH UPDATE @ 10h27

Nowt

 

No, not really. If you have winter tyres then yes, you will notice a real difference, but on summer tyres (or cheap summer tyres), you will have difficulties.

Tony

 

Nothing here in Carlisle.....

Shaun


PS

MR2MK1.........have you got an AW 11 ??

 

I'm looking forward to the snow. Prob will take it out but nothing to crazy. Has to be safer than last year in my fiesta ST in -15c . Wasn't good!

 

where i live there is car park a stones throw away with a round island in the middle 1st try when we last had snow and i was sideways lapping it like colin mcrae ! so ill be playing there when it arrives post some vids ? might see me crash lol

 

Nothing in Burton upon Trent yet Looking forward to DCCD on full lock !
