RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - Oil-burner - 23-03-2013

Its terrible here in chesterfield, dont know what chris was on about.
We must have had 4 inches or so, its not stopped since 3am friday morning.

Also the hdi is useless in the snow, when I had the clones and 55profile tyres it would go anywhere but on 205/40/17s its shocking, no grip whatsoever.

6-7 inches and still going! My cat went out and disappeared! Had to take our lasses Corsa out to do the weekly shop, narrow tires FTW!! Big Grin

SNOW!!!!!!! - Aaron _d95 - 23-03-2013

There's about 28-30 inches of snow around where I live.

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - Pete - 23-03-2013

Kirroughtree yesterday, The M6 was down to one lane in places and the A74 was only just passable with care. Come home early as the trails are unrideable and the powerlines are down in Dumfries where we were staying. Got about a foot of it over my way, with some pretty big drifts too.

My mate measured the snow last night and it was 22" and this morning it was 30" and its been snowing most of the day today aswell

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - londondan86 - 23-03-2013

Jesus! Although no great shame if the micra got lost forever! lol

I'm just down the road from you then just off the moss valley on the Brynteg side

Ye the micra is his spare car so his probably using that because he's not that bothered about driving in the snow in it. That pic was at my mates near brymbo premier. I live in caergwrle so still not to far from you.

I have to admit, micras are epic in the snow, they seem to get places even 4x4s won't without breaking a sweat...

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - ozonehostile - 24-03-2013

the best snow car i ever had was a 1.2 nova. would easily carry on past landrovers and other 4x4s up icy hills. ultra thin tyres, no weight and no power is a winning combination for snow Smile

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - Piggy - 24-03-2013

got to admit my tdci 1.6 59plate fezza on snow tyres was epic...

overtakin 4x4s sideways ftw

My best one was a rover metro 1.1 amazing on snow used it as a plough once kept going lol only died when mot tester put screwdriver through the chassie in lots of places lol

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - Jonny81191 - 24-03-2013

Mine is horrendous in snow for some reason, notably worse than my previous 2.

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - ozonehostile - 24-03-2013

the sedan is terrible in snow too, too much torque, tyres too wide

RE: SNOW!!!!!!! - DARREN221 - 24-03-2013
