Your car in the Snow...

still f**k all snow down here in Bournemouth... although we're expecting a massive 20cm overnight apparently. It'll never happen, but it keeps the Met Office busy.

I'm up M40 J10 mate and the snow fall is a good inch so far. Still falling heavily and forecast to continue through tomorrow till thursday!

Just a bit of snow ;)

^My thoughts also.
I assumed that'd have been in your other motor!
No chance! If the clio went through 180 the S13 would be doing doughnuts trying to get it off the drive!

awesome for not getting stuck or going up hills but the haldex isnt great, as its not set %'s FWD or RWD its constantly shifting the power about so it gets a bit sketchy n twitchy when driving along
I think everyones car is a bit sketchy driving along, not getting stuck and winning in hills makes TT a winner in the snow tbh...

Just a bit of snow ;)

LOL not even a sprinkling of snow... I didn't even have to scrape the car this morning! Slightly smug sat here hearing/reading all the snow stories on the news.

For what we've got, it's the worst we've had in a while.

I have only one way out of my street, up a hill, and then to get to work would mean a lot of down hills, so can't take the car anywhere, and I'm not risking the walk. ;)

Used a ruler to measure how deep the garden was and we've got 5 inches, lovely.

You can just about see the tracks i shovelled out infront of the car, also threw down some pea gravel stuff/sandy stuff, still nothing...just sat there spinning and flashing at me lol! Now, you can't see anything, drive has just turned white again! Meh, one not so happy client haha!!

The entrance ramp to get to our parking spaces.. The exit ramp is about a 40° slope... Hmm.. Was leaving for work in about 10mins... I failed EPICALLY!

Trip back however was a bit slippery, not so much with accelerating but braking... I was approaching a big roundabout at about 20mph and gave myself plenty of stopping distance... I touched the brake really lightly and the front wheels locked and I kept sliding...

Had to fix that one myself taping the brake like the ABS would...
