RE: Mucking about in the snow

[sbridgey]

I went out for a play, learned a new technique for drifting a FWD car (turn in, handbrake on, power on), seemed to work well, then I set about finding the biggest hill in Nottingham to get up.

Good to see PHers responsible enough to clear the snow from their vehicles before going out for a play. Good effort, shame more people couldn't do the same.

I just went to the local shop and back on Friday. It's the second year I have had winter tyres on my E91 and my first opportunity to test them. I have to say I was deeply impressed and arrived home unduly happy for somebody who had genuinely only popped to the shop. Sorry there was zero hoon content in this post ...

My thoughts exactly - I really wish I had a car with weather like this so I could add to the thread.

Quattro, winter tyres, a V8 engine with traction control switched off and Norfolk's country lanes makes for some entertainment. My only constraint is ground clearance in deeper snow

Getting ready for a full evening of mucking about in the snow

LOL... I do remember people giving me "the look" two years ago when I flew by them in the Sport, so I can totally relate to the driver delivering having fun

Seeing the other pics reminds me I have take a pic of the Camaro in the snow when it's daylight 600hp on summer tyres is FUN... LOOOOL

Taken a few years ago, the MG is tooked up in the garage, doesn't handle half as well in the snow on Proxes T1R's

Sorry, mate, but what was the point of that video? You didn't do anything... Also, how have you made an M3 sound like a crappy corsa?!

[DriverNo1]

Went for my first run in the snow today and I'm pleased to report that I didn't get stuck and wasn't killed to death, despite being challenged by a very steep hill and many twisties







The hill mentioned above was great fun! The snow was much deeper than in the pics and there was lots of unintentional drifting around pretty much every corner

I also passed several so called "off - roaders" doing approximately 2mph. Must admit, I had a small chuckle to myself at the terrified expression on the driver's faces as they went by

[NotNormal]

Lots of fun had yesterday and today

[Coolbanana]

Was fun in mine, but took a bit of effort to get it to slide even slightly with its Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtreme tyres on!

[fatboy69]

Forgot how much fun the E36 was with the traction control button switched off - in an empty Comet car park I should add.

The X - Type was quite dull & boring in the same car park a little later.
