hondaboy Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 It's hard to tell if its snowing up here in Aberdeen, it's all just grey, cold, windy and depressing 90% of the time anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It was snowing here in North Yorks today. I blame that global warming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It's finally stopped raining here, a bit of snow would be nice though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It was snowing here in North Yorks today. I blame that global warming. That's definitely the case. Global warming will lead to colder temperatures for us in the UK. See? Even when the whole world is going down the pan we still end up with the sh1ttier end of the stick.

d00gzy Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Taken my first drive in the snow yesterday and have got to say i struggled. All other cars were fine apart from me, and another rear wheel (Jaguar) were struggling to get uphill! scarier than i thought it would be!

Front engined FWD cars will speed through the snow and we crawl along. You could try filling the boot with heavy things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 If you have ABS... pull the fuse for driving in the snow Driving a Supra in the snow is somewhat of a pisstake - I've seen me drive up long hills at a 45degree angle to straight ahead. Not for the faint hearted! Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 .... wondering if a should go out a spin .... about 7 years ago i thought i would take my audi out in the snow , one curb, one bent chassis and £600 later i thought it may not of been such a great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_S Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 do it but be very very careful. if you have very wide tyres then forget it. My old Mkii used to have a very hard job in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p111ddy Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I had to drive in the snow last year & I only had the car for about a week top's so I was still getting use to the RWD & the car. I had to drive very slow & also change my underwear once I got home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 The auto used to be fun, just sat there spinning its wheels at idle going absolutely nowhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
