Anyone else been out having some RWD fun in the snow?

 

[NoahRobinson07]

FWD fun. Would've taken my Mini out in the snow but, Its not road legal. So a mate came round, we stuck some 4.5" wide steelies on and pretended to be Paddy Hopkirk

All in all, A f**king great day.

 

[Ray Gin]

I've lifted the handbrake a few times in the past couple of days.

 

[Adamm.]

Love that z3 always had a little soft spot for these.

 

[Jason_E]

My handbrake will never forgive me for the past few days tbf.

 

[Wick]

Big fan of this.

Found Zi's project thread today on Zroadster when I was nosing around. Been looking at 3.0i's.

 

[Fletcher]

Z3 looks good in the snow.

I've had some fun in the hilux the last couple of days. So tail happy in 2WD mode.

 

[Ben]

Z3 snow plough, awesome.

 

[Euan94]

Love that Z3,

I've been having some fun in my mx5 the last couple of days although also had a couple of brown underwear moments when I've found the road to be sheet ice!
It's all part of the fun though

 

[Whiteley]

I manned up and took the M5 out, massive giggles ensued!

 

[Owen]

^ nice. Much fun had I hope mate.

 

[Rob]

I've been having ludicrous amounts.

Done Luton to Sidcup in the zed today (yes, that's right, 60 odd miles), and popped out to grab a bite, then popped out again to drop the mrs home. I just drove down quite a long section of road 100% sideways giggling like a girl.

I love having the track wheels on so I'm no concerned about the possibility of scraping them in some super low speed slide.

Only one serious hairy moment to report.. lost my senses for about 30 seconds on the m25 and decided to swerve to avoid some debris in the road, beginning to sideways at 55 wasn't fun.

 

[...]

been running the S4 since it started snowing , in fact not moved the clio ...... 370bhp is fine , though i did fit new rears yesterday as they were on the wear markers , 4wd drifting and V8 soundtrack is fun

 

[Sir_Dave]

I just cleared the car park at work via the use of doughnuts.

R32 deffo needs more rear bias :slap:

 

[Lal B3N]

Soon as it snows im out in it to the local back roads, usually hardknott pass.

Although this morning we got some decent snow, winter tyres made it far too easy.

 

[Hixle]

My handbrake will never forgive me for the past few days tbf.

Haha, snap. The Abarth has a gay beep if the handbrake is put on with the car in motion though

I wish I had an MX5 in this weather though.

 

[Carbonraider]

The 200 has a gay beep to :/ not good

 

[Heez]

Is it only in the cabin or does it use a horn outside?

Z3 in the snow looks good times! I need RWD in my life

 

[_Tom]

Our local snow playground -

I wish i had rwd at the moment..

 

[Topgeartom]

Anyone else been out having some RWD fun in the snow?

No:

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ohhhhh yes....

Been out Burblin'. by evil_giraffes_rule, on Flickr

Hilarious levels of grip ! Going past people on bypasses in the snow lane .. everyone else in the semi-clear inside lane at about 20mph .. me at full chat. Properly amusing !

Did get held up by a couple of Clios though...

 

[-J-]

R32's look fun in the snow:

[Jamie86]

Yeah out in the MX5hed for a good few hours Friday night and took the missus out on sunday to show i'm the real DK

Nice, and they RWD or 4WD? I had no idea!

 

[Jamie86]

Parents decided was to dodgy for RWD... yeah right!

 

[Englebert]

Nice vid. I got into work really early this morning, which meant i had the car park all to myself! Only problem with 4WD and winters on is you actually have to go a fair speed before it loses grip! I went round and round until i got lucky not hitting and kerb, and then self-imposed a curfew...

[Jason_E]

I remember my Clio beeping. Think its the same as the no seatbelt bleep or at least similar!

My Golf seems to have crafted itself some mudflaps from ice. Like, so much ice.

 

[vivaladan]

That z3 makes me want one so much. haha

 

[Jason_E]

I tried to convince my mate to take his Corvette out. But later that night/early the next morning, I realised that it's probably a good idea he didn't. Cant even do a run.

[midge]

My A3 quattro was awesome.

 

[Chrisjk]

The evo is a riot in the snow, no problem on uncleared roads.

 

[StephenJ]

Surprised the CS anti-fun police haven't been in here yet!

 

[Dave..]

I need better tyres on the Audi. The Clio on paradas is better than the S4 on pirellis, albeit bald pirellis.

 

[Herr Flick]

I f**king love that!

[chris_p]

I went for a drive the other night purely for lols, loved it. I felt like Ken Block without the shameless advertising.

I'd say the zed is my favourite snow car for giggles, it's more manageable than the M3, yet so much more fun than the TT.
I don't know how you could rely upon it for those miles though Rob! I seriously struggled with any form of incline, the VW Caddy however has done around 300 miles without getting stuck once, snow tyres ftw.
