Panic!!! Quick

[DMCaymanR]

Bolton is in full scale emergency grit mode.

Peppered twice with the gritters on 200% output.
Roads are like beaches.

Poor Cayman R full of sault. Heavy snow due at approx 16:00.
It's snowing in Blackpool!

Now safely back in its home garage and swapped for polo 1.4 tdi haha, what a come down :-)

Dave.

Keep calm and carry on.

[DMCaymanR]

Haha. I'm not one for creating havoc. I was more upset about the salt on the CR. I'll drive in snow it's just the other idiots that can't.

Bolton should be a good 6 inch in snow by friday, just before I'm due to pick up my new cayman from hartech! :-(
I seem to have such luck.

Until you've had a gritter overtake you, whilst cycling in shorts, you have no cause to complain.

Somewhere, somebody is driving a boxster with the roof down.

That will be up North then. Never seen so many nutters in shorts and t-shirts, in a snow blizzard as on the North York moors whilst visiting the In laws. Roof down driving in a hurricane wouldn't be a problem let alone snow. too that lot. :-)

I was today (and for the last 3 days) - minus 2, foggy and with barely legal tread on the rear tyres.

Was great fun.

bks to the salt on the road. I don't care!

I wouldn't care either, except it's too cold to have our outside tap on so can't use the jet wash :-(

Well, it's not like I'll open the garage door next Saturday to find just a small mound of rust where a car once stood.....

Looking forward to see how the 997 4S is in snow the 6 4S was ace.

Be careful out there, remember its not you, it's the other idiots that you have to watch out for. It amazes me how a bit of rain can turn the average drivers brain to mush, in snow it's even worse.

Thanks and agreed although idiots in all weather conditions. No snow yet

[Carl_Docklands]

Zyp, i bet you were wearing michelin boots to perform that stunt.

Bridgestone summer tyres are pony in the cold, this i can state as a fact.

You lucky b*stard. What is more fun than endlessly going sideways in the snow? Some people just can't be pleased...

Not exactly what I had in mind when picking up a new and unfamiliar car ha ha.
Still excited however ;-)

Carl, Pirellis of all things!

In a perverse kind of way, knowing that the back is going to step out at the merest whif of throttle with the tyres as they are, is giving me a new found confidence in what the car will do.

I'm starting to actually like the car again.
