snow - no way not ever. still waiting to get car back from bodyshop after my sideways slide on black ice at 20mph into a tree. next winter the car stays in the driveway if the temp drops below 5 degrees!!

Snow down here in portsmouth.. Umm, well definitely an experience and a half. She just keeps goin and goin, and there ain't no stopping her. Hit my passenger side rim on the kerb. Not good!

Definitely an experience in the snow that is for sure. Car parked up now, and well, if it looks like snowing tomorrow... gonna stay inside. Although, now the snow has turned into rain... BORING!!!

Made snow man though. Will have to put up picks.

I'm glad I didn't sell my Impreza after all. 4 wheel drive is the only way to travel at the moment, and the VXR is safe in the garage!

Took the Clubbie out for a bit of a spin yesterday as the battery was starting to drain through lack of use. No real snow on the ground here but plenty of slush and a bit of ice here and there, had great fun, not sure if its just my car or because of the power delivery on the 5.0lt but it was very tractable and quite friendly to drive in the dodgy conditions. Still very easy to get the back end round on slower sharp corners and did have a bit of a moment when giving it some on the motorway slip road in 3rd at about 60mph(started to go a tad sideways on me!!! oops). But overall I had a great drive out, thanks again to Greens/Wortec for the AP's, invaluable!!

Happy New Year to all

Im glad i left mine in the garage
and bought a 4x4 for winter

By the way on a more serious note next door neighbour had a 6 series BMW taken off the drive the other night. Police say a big increase in steal to order high powered cars, fishing for keys through letter boxes. be careful

So was mine, but he still likes to look up his old patients sometimes ;-)

When my father retired from gynacology, he became an interior decorator His big selling point was the fact that he caused minimum disturbance by doing it through the letterbox.
