Note to self - remember to take off front splitter before the next snow. You break it every time. Now where's the number for HT Autos?

Moley_WRX 04-12-2010 09:15 PM

AndyWRX 07-12-2010 08:42 PM

Got to admit i do like driving the scoob in the snow but as chunk said all the idiots will be back on the road, ie people with burka style windscreens

Steve_PPP 07-12-2010 09:17 PM

Roads are still a bloody nightmare tho, snow or no snow! I commute to work along the A275 (Chailey - Danehill) and theres a section of around 200 metres near Sheffield Park thats been sodding lethal for the last two days. Came through there on Monday morning to find one of my colleague's cars on its roof and smashed to bits :(

Luckily she was ok (only injury was made worse whilst trying to climb out of an upside-down car), but i spent the next hour helping out and slowing down traffic. Large parts of the road were so bad i couldn't stand up properly on the ice, so a car on the bends had no chance. Did they grit the road? Yeah right.

Local resident told me that was the second crash there that morning (previous one had only just been cleared). The Police who attended took about 40 mins to get to us and said they were flat out with accidents around the area.

I love the snow as it keeps most people off the roads. Every idiot is still out on the ice though!

And there in lies the problem. :agreed:

Chunk 08-12-2010 08:53 AM

The ice is the pain. Snow only lasted 4 days round here, but the ice is still showing no signs of melting

My next toy will love the snow, but wont be getting it untill the spring

+ 2 :agreed:

Chunk 08-12-2010 04:57 PM

The ice makes it very interesting for us with RWD

Chunk 08-12-2010 04:59 PM

Just been told snow is forecast in Surrey before the weekend

Going to be a nightmare if it comes before the ice melts

Mortster 08-12-2010 08:34 PM

On my epic 7 hour journey home last week, I was amazed at how badly all the modern RWD cars were doing, mainly mercs and bm.s. They sometimes was the cause of all the hold ups. :sad:

Chunk 09-12-2010 08:35 AM

Apparently performance Mercs are the worst cars for snow... yay

Thinging of getting another Hilux or L200 in the spring, not coz of the bad winters like everyone else, but i miss my old Hilux
