The snow has finally reached Leeds well it did Friday night but I had to sleep Saturday for my night shift so the first lot all melted.... but tonight it's doing it again

We've all seen the youtube videos where people are sliding around a massive flat open space in America, where are those places in the UK. More importantly where are those types of places near Leeds. Need somewhere flat and open where we're unlikely to get moved on after a few minutes. We found a place last year but it had hidden concrete blocks round the edges and bgood killed a wheel

 

turn the sound up and listen to what concrete does to scooby wheels

i know of a place in wakefield its on a large open grass area really flat but im waiting for more snow then the fun begins i think its ok and quite distant so hopefully wont get moved on

 

go over the isle of skye road towards greenfield from huddersfield/holmfirth when the road is closed. lots of open space up there. I had some good times up there last year. be carfull of the snow drifts though, there are some knarly dry stone wall up there.

see vid below, scroll to 27 seconds for the best bit!

excuse the commentator - he got a bit excited

 

yaaaa im up for crashing in the snow this year

 

that's a crazy *** road. think i'd need somewhere more open like a big car park without lamp posts or trolley parks to practise in before i attempt that road. first year in a scooby, RWD last year.

 

Hell yeah, lets do it

 

Anyone near xscape? We're out playing.

 

a few of us near there fella

not risking bending mine in this though too many idiots who don't pay attention and it only takes one t**t and its game over .

unusually negative for me but this weather is starting to pi*s me off................i want to drive me carrrr !!!!!!

Roads are a little dangerous at moment especially the way some people driver in snow. We managed to find a good few big open and more importantly empty car parks. Good way to use half a tank of petrol without actually going anywhere.

 

Roads are complete ****e, just taken me 40 mins to due the usual 10 mins drive home from work. Motorway was clear though as they were still gritting that.

 

this weather is really pissing me off now,its getting fekking worse.i carnt even get my bloody scoob out of the barn cos my splitters so low it just acts as a snow plough.

 

I know what you mean... It had an inbuilt snowplow!

 

hello my friends, is any one from Leeds? i am new arrival in Leeds ;D WOW, you had a lot of snow last week, maybe here in Leeds is any place for Scooby owners meetings or something with JDM Enthusiast drag race, drift or something like this , legal or ilegal? i don't have Scooby but i love JDM cars as well and would love to get more info about any good JDM stuff around Leeds ;] by the way i like car photography as well ;]
