snow is on its way

[Diamond Hell]

I'll be doing lots of this!

£10 says you won't get out the car park.  Along with the Merc and BMW drivers.

I saw some pathetic bloke trying to get his MX5 moving in the snow last winter.  Suggested he just walked before he became a hazard in the middle of the road, rather than in the middle of it.

Unless you've already got winter tyres for it?

My mk4 was fine in the snow, only problems I had were with clearance.  Lower she rides to the ground harder it is to get around.  Luckily my cars in an indoor car park now, so absolutely no issues at all

but please... the fcukin Daily Mail is just trying to scare the old people as usual

Finally, snow, the only time my daily is worth the massive expense to run it all year!

Thought you were getting rid of it, Jord?

Snow! I love snow  

At the tip near us, they have the most enormous mountain of grit built up, bigger than the past two years. It's been growing ever since the end of the last snow. I hope the local farmers have their tractors ready, they were brilliant last year, clearing the roads.

I don't take the golf out in winter at all nowadays. In the past I've found driving it in snow etc no problem, does a lot better than these numpties in their three megaton 4x4s who look surprised to find they can't stop so well (I live in a very hilly area). It's these other people that worry me. And the amount of salt too.

I do think the articles are OTT - I really wouldn't be surprised if there was snow somewhere in Britain by October, which is all it seems to be saying, that wouldn't be at all surprising.

Nah keeping, now ive got a MK2 again im kind of happy with the balance of truck for daily, then hammer about the Mk2 for fun!

Still looking for an economical mileage slag though, 3200 in the warrior last month ..... 300 miles a tank ..... £90 a tank....

Cool, means my disco will go up in value again

Anyone else find that little hatchbacks with small engines absolutely own the road in the snow?

Yes a 4x4 is better at driving to the north pole obviously, but with all the hills etc and the snow we get on our roads my little old Rover got about everywhere in the snow, picked up the boss when he abandoned his Range Rover.
