Here comes the snow!
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

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).

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.

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.
