We have always been brought up expecting snow worse than that, so normally every year is a bit of a wash out, if its not 2 foot deep it hasnt really snowed :whistle:

Winter is fun :) But of course, you need a lot of practice before you can drive in confidence. Especially with mr2. Lear some in empty parking lots, compete in autocrosses and so on...

That looked like fun.


The only problem I have with driving in snowy conditions is that other drivers are complete retards :roll:

Drive slowly and with caution and it's no different to any other car. I daily drive my rev3 turbo throughout winter here in Cumbria with no issues :thumleft:
