No Pics fellas but I did have to dig the Avant out about an hour ago!! Even with some difflock action it was no go! Good laugh though, I've manged two doughnuts on the car park so far

Just started to snow even heavier in Brum! Wonder if the Rav4 can snow drift? :mischeif:

We have had no snow here at all was hoping 2 see how my car likes big empty car parks and lots of boost lol

[Grom]

Took my new S2 on my normal commute to Portsmouth from Guildford today. Snow very heavy off the A3, and there was an accident at Hindhead (single lane section) with 3 mile tailbacks, so I decided to dodge off and go via the backroads.

Almost immediately came on a long downhill leading up to the top of the sliproad, with two folorn looking newish mercs halfway up it. They couldn't move, just wheelspin. I was coming down, stopped next to them and they were quite sad, one of them said 'I have a towrope' so I thought hmm... wonder if I can get up the hill? Then maybe I could pull them...

So I drove a bit further down, did a 3 point turn then just drove back up... It was piss easy, I didn't slip once, didn't use the diff lock (forgot about it). Mercs looked quite envious at my 13 year old car purring up the hill However when I went back down turns out the tow rope guy had it in his other car so I couldn't help. Probably for the best though, I've never towed before and it would have been bad to slide backwards into an '06 mercedes...

Drove on to work through tiny lanes choked with snow, and apart from some ABS juddering when coming to a halt sometimes, never lost grip once.

BTW, first post, hello

Grom, sounds like you had an interesting drive! Did you go through Haslemere and rejoin the A3 at Milford? Used to live in Haslemere and that road is a blast when its clear but it's definately a snow trap too sat on the edge of the downs.

Cheers

It's started snowing again here in Reading!! And I was just abouts to go out and try fitting my new windscreen washer pump, as it's quite a neccesity in this weather... think I'll give it an hour

[s2driveruk]

no worries Ross, stopped in Blazingjoke so should be through your neck of the woods soon too

[Rusty]

It's fairly heavy near Brissol now. I'm supposed to be replacing the bottom end on a mate's Scirocco this evening, on the drive... Hmmmm...

Ahh crap. Doing the Northampton to Bristol run tonight. I bet the M4's going to be a nightmare.

Hinckley got a heavy fall at the mo, shame the car is off the road at the mo. Looks funny though as it seems to have grown fangs!!!!! (snow ones that is)

[phil2.016v]

It's been smowing really heavy here in sunny Rugeley for about 5 hours now!! I had to drive my Rallye back from the bodyshop in it, not the best start for the new paint

I'm gonna try to get out of the work carpark in a minute :mischeif:
