Snow coming to NI...

[Big Lee M]

Well got back an hour ago,have done 235 mile so the car is half White with all the salt on the road. Will give it a spruce up tomorrow if it's not raining. Well I've got my fingers crossed for it to be dry.

I normally just poke the pressure washer lance under the car and do my best.

You can get underbody washes for about £30. The guys here put the car on a ramp and power wash underneath.

Not sure if this is available everywhere, it is a service aimed at Taxi owners up here as the local Cab office require the underside to be spotless for the yearly inspection.

At £30 a time I will be waiting till spring for this though.

£30???
Fella out the road from me charges no more than a tenner for that.

[A80Avant]

yes! thats true.
I believe that with a powerwasher now and again it will be good enough!
cheers

what is the best way to takle the salt after you have been driving in a snowed+salted road? Pressure wash under the arches+under the car?

Well I'm of to the lake district today with are lass for a drive in the S2, so is there any snow up there yet? Sonic! I'm taking the camera for some good photos hopefully with a bit of snow on the hills. If I get any I'll post them up.

Here are a few pics from the other day, sorry for the delay.

Got a few nice pics from up the Silent Valley from today Paul. Cant upload them til I get home though, got no way of transferring files from either my camera or the missus'. Wasn't in the S2 though. There was chaos up there.

We had 25cm of snow in the mountains of southern Norway 3 weeks ago. Made for some fun quattro driving.
Snowfall this morning in Oslo. Complete chaos, as usual.

[s2driveruk]

yep, s2+snow+traffic=nightmare, especially on summer rubber.

Snowed here too last night, only about an inch but enough to close a couple of A roads already

Spent an hour and a half negotiating a mixture of rain, ice and slush in the S2 tonight on the way home. I didn't like it. The car is handling like a dog on vinyl in the dry anyway but tonight it was awful.

Lot's of aqua/slush planing. Heater kept going relly hot and then really cold and my wipers were useless. My Eagle F1's in the wet are usually amazing but in these conditions they were a little edgy.

You'd better find yourself a nice A6 tdi or a little Polo as a runaround sooner rather than later mate!! Don't wanna wreck the S just going to and from work now. :mischeif:

[Big Lee M]

Yeah sorry fun i did mean. Seems as everywhere is having snow/slush apart from Leeds. Halifax had snow today and Keighley?
