I take it you're out in the sticks a bit then?

(and they're starting to become too common now anyway!)Well the AWD of a scoob would help but if you don't like common look elsewhere

Get yourself a cheap 4x4 for the winter.
The Scoobs aren't as great as some would have you believe in the snow (that assuming you get REAL Snow).
Scoob is fine for an inch or so - much more than that and they start to get challenging (Fat tyres being the biggest problem).
Suzuki Jimny for a second car - great fun in the white stuff.

.The wife's Jimny really is great in the snow (and being a soft top it's quite good in the summer too
)

Welcome Lucy, you look like you are having a good time already. You appeared to have joined during the "scoobynet mad season".
I'm frequently in Leeds myself and know someone else in an RX8, nice car - much more room than you expect. ferocious fuel consumption though.
Have fun, relax and ignore questions about bread or whips.

It's such a great excuse!Oh by the way be careful if you go into muppets, I started out my scoobynet career in there and looked what happened to me, I ended up a Mod
Actually they don't know it but I still frequent the place, I'm just too scared to post
