Let us know if you get some - we can have our own regional weather report .
Let the rear diff lock doughnuts commence (hopefully)!

Last time it snowed a few weeks back popped out with Mrs laser to the local d i y it b and q it super duper saver centre in the soft top and `made her` do some handbrake turns in the empty bit of the car park, as she turned the wheel and yanked the handbrake she was shutting her eyes nearest object was a good 100 foot away even when we stopped. Pete whats this about your Mrs driving `your` S2 ?

[Crawford_S2]

Serves him right for buyin her a fiat

****** handbrake was frozen on in her car this morning .
She *had* to take the Avant as i cant have the boy falling behind at School now .
Still leaves me with the problem of freeing off the handbrake on her coupe before i pick him up though.

Much as i hate Fiats with a passion the 20 valve turbo coupes are an exception.
They are made at Pininfarina so build quality is leagues ahead of the normal cooking Fiats - in fact (touch wood) its been the most reliable car we've ever owned - neve rlet us down and apart from a new front wishbone its never needed anything other than routine servicing.
Also they were the quickest front wheel drive production car when they were new and they will still hit 160mph stock - not to be sniffed at.
Brembo 4 pots, Viscous LSD as standard.
Of course hers has been remapped by the Paul Nugent of the Fiat Coupe world - cost me 35 quid for 260 bhp
Its a great car to drive and on a dry road at least i think its easily as quick as my healthy tweeked S2 probably quicker top end.
Dont knock until you try mate.
Sounds like a 5 pot should too.

cams on charge ready for some snow driffing may be a donut or two

Wow, how much snow!!! Its about 2" thick here in Essex. Havn't been out in yet, got to work out which car is mine first as they all look like big snowballs!

[s2driveruk]

Well no sliding fun here as there's already been a shunt on the hill out of my road so the s2 stays covered in snow. 18's and snow don't mix, let alone gravity and an S2 BTDT...

about 8cm just outside b'stoke as u can see

[Al Wyn]

West sussex......... NO SNOW

[Rusty]

A whole 10mm if you're luck down my way. Rubbish! And it's not really staying. People are still driving like it's 10" though!

S2's nice and warm and dry in the garage, thankfully it's facing the door so can't see what it's missing out on

Everyone's car wants to be Alpine White today

On topic, just started snowing in Eindhoven, Holland.
I'll try to have some fun on the way home later on (if the snow is still there then) :mischeif:

[blown_vr6]

****** all round Hastings area today .
Seems Kent has got a fair old covering - Tun Wells which is 25 miles North has a fair bit.
Bloody sea air!
