Damn snow! - Toms306 - 05-02-2012

Hmm, could've REALLY done without it today..... :evil:

About 3" in the road between tyre tracks, no grit on our road.........and coming home last night there wasn't even any grit on the main B road!

Must admit though, the golf was good in it last night, I left the ASR on and it only cut in trying to get on my drive (bumping over a high kerb onto an uphill sloping drive in snow FTL lol). It got me straight up though, where as the 306 just span in that same situation last year.

Heres a few snowy pics.....you can add yours too....

Thanks to the snow I'll be missing out on work today if I can't get out so I'll be losing £30.....guess I better not drive anywhere at all next week then. Sad

Had just under 2 inches here i reckon.

The cabby has been amazing even though it was ploughing the snow with its front bumper in places, climbed a massive snowy hill in high wycombe even though it was probably 1 in 3.

Had a great laugh coming back on the motorway at 3 different peolpe in expensive nearly new 4x4s whod all managed to crash into the central reservation and/or the banking up the side and were sitting on the hard shoulder missing wheels and bodywork.

Only issue i had was snow getting stuck inside of my wheels and making them feel massively out of ballance.

Re: Damn snow! - Foxy-jim - 05-02-2012

My banded steels would be well heavy if the dish filled up with a load of snow!

Got a face full myself through the open window/roof in the beamer this morning - NOT impressed!

Re: Damn snow! - procta - 06-02-2012

tom what you should have done is found a nice empty car park and went for it with the handbrake.
