SNOW!

[Bradtate]

Anyone else got snow? Essex has come to a stand still lol took me 30 minutes to get out of my road!

Just bought my VTS on Sunday so don't fancy the possibility of an icy crash!

[Saxologist]

Does my tits in when about 100 of my friends become weathermen on facebook. Snow, it happens

JK, I dont have 100 friends

[Bradtate]

Haha you're not wrong, I found out it was snowing via Facebook rather than my own eyes. I don't mind the snow at all, just hate the fact everyone panics and it causes so much traffic. My road is a private road and there was even traffic there because of everyone trying to get out and go to work lol

[Giraffe]

Got a light dusting over night. Sunny here now though.

[Saxologist]

Fuck, people become such bells when it snows. They make roundabouts as safe as russian roulette

[D1zzyman]

its my first time driving in snow any tips ? i nearly crashed in to a parked car earlier, i was doing 7mph o_O

[MPHZONE]

Already started to lay here..

[Dave_P]

Aberdeen roads are at a standstill due to snow, people been stuck in traffic for hours.

Glad I started at 7am and missed it all...

[christoph]

woopy do a bit of snow. . . really don't see what the big deal is.

The joys of the ABS kicking in when you need the brakes.... Don't do it:zainy:

Don't drive if you can avoid it. Really not worth the risk.

If you need to, get a a mains adapter for the car (plugs into cigarette lighter) then use a hair drier and simply melt the snow or ice that you need to cross

Gears to slow you down, no sudden brakes or sharp steering use highest gears possible,if you slide let go of the wheel and just let it spin back and just plow on.

[Bradtate]

Just take it easy and stay in lowest gear, that's what I do and have never had an issue. Either that or just get a sledge lol

[Bradtate]

I meant highest not lowest

[Mr_P]

Get off the fucking laptop.

[christoph]

I meant highest not lowest

you were right the first time

[Bradtate]

Whatever 1st gear is, that's what I meant lol

full throttle, everywhere.

This. Fucking idiots everywhere sliding into each other. My usual 45 minute journey into work took just under 3 hours as retards block roads, crawl along at 5 mph, slide into parked cars and generally panic.

Fucktards.

[Manu]

Fucktards.

Very wise choice of words, couldn't come up with anything better


then use a hair drier and simply melt the snow or ice that you need to cross

Put a 5kg bag of cat litter in your boot + some cheap salt. Dirt cheap and effective. Also keep a couple of blankets just in case you get stuck, that saved my balls from freezing one night.

You should have put the blankets under the wheels for traction. (Depending on how stuck you where.)

I've been saved by car mats a couple times in the past. :homme:

When approaching the corner apply the handbrake. Shortly followed by opposite lock and then throttle.

[hellonpluto]

get ready to do handbrake turns if you KNOW your not going to stop in time!

[rey]

Fucking snow.

Got an interview in Sandwich, gotta get there from London, just spent 40 minutes waiting for a train to get back to my car..

Worst timing ever.

[knight-22]

Got an interview in Sandwich

Sorry I meant I was stuck on the motorway behind 2 million lorries, not getting anywhere. It was freezing but no snow, so the blankets came in handy that night...

[LVC]

I love these posts - brings back all the reasons why I moved out of the UK.

Personally with the Defender and quad ready to roll I can't wait for the snow here.

[ed-bradley]

I like Chocolate Spread sandwiches. Mm.


No snow on the Isle of Man. Just shit and cold.

[smiith]

Whitby isn't too bad, but you can see the snow on the moor tops, and its a white out to see up there from here.. Must be falling harrrdddd

[jones91]

Been round most of the west midlands this morning and no sign of snow at all, infant it's pretty sunny where I am :p

Dude change your display picture, there are no words.....

[billy-m]

No snow here. Yippeee

[TomT]

No snow here :( Sun bit still cold.

[Carl-h]

None here. Sunny sky but bloody freezing! Was raining at 3/4am on the way into work this morning.

Driving a fwd car in the snow is easy. Just plan miles ahead and it's a piece of piss. I can't wait for the snow now I've got the disco, gonna be fun!

[Ross]

yeah brought the range rover to work this AM thinking I'd need it (and I did down some of the back roads) but fuck me, there's some idiots out there... Driving your MX5 up a twisty single-carriageway lane in 2 inches of snow isn't smart. Worse is stopping, then starting again on said hill, only to slide the rear of the car into someone passing you... Stay home.

[Carl-h]

Haha glad my mx5's gone tbh. Although luckily it's only my road that isn't gritted on my route to work. I know the main roads can still get bad but they generally stay pretty clear here. Saying that ill be one of the first on the snow in the morning so it ought to be fresh rather than compacted and polished so there should be plenty of grip. I need to get a tow rope and earn some money ;)

[Steph_at_constella]

looks like that in chesterfield too, sunny and a blue sky :)

Shepshed as well! Not a flake here!

I like the snow.

[L33h]

I always know if its snows before i even look out of the window! The amount of people that post on facebook is unbelievable

[wicked-vtr]

We had snow just as I was coming in from work this morning, enough to get the back out on the work van. All melted now though :(

[rhysg]

full throttle, everywhere.

This ^ :y:

[TomT]

This ^ :y:

May as well in a low powered fwd.. It's what I'll be doing

[Gandi699]

Snow would mean I wouldn't have to work as much.
Instead I have to freeze my ass off daily :n:

[Gandi699]

How does the Evoque cope with the snow?

[jonathon5]

How does the Evoque cope with the snow?

Pretty well providing its fitted well providing its fitted with the high performance summer tyres that have fuck all traction in winter.

It doesn't seem to get stuck

[Dany4494]

Been snowing all day not settling though.

[VeiRoN]

Do they clean roads quite quickly here?

[kmak577]

winter tyres help, only got them on the front but they really help!

[robster247]

Have around a foot deep of snow here, toyo t1r's and lowered 60mm doesn't help. However we were carving our way through it lastnight. Pics to follow :)

Did this a few years ago, was avoiding everywhere the snow was deep and then came to a one way street, the tyre tracks were fine but the snow on the undercarriage was horrible and making a dragging sound.

[robster247]

Yeah that's the worst part haha, got home and my saxsport was hanging off and snapped/lost both front inner arches. Not impressed
