Bloody snow

Feel free to add your own pics

 

Times like this im so glad ive got a garage....

 

Haha tucked up in bed!!!. get the 4wd action going

 

man up matty, snow is awesome

 

Okay not my scoob sorry

 

Mines all tucked away until it's gone!

 

Pug GTI 180?

 

i wish the car fitted in my garage , yeah GTi 180

 

Nothing better than playing out in the scooby in the snow!

 

That's tight, how'd you get in?

 

Through the boot?

 

Being extremely careful and with great difficulty!

 

Get a bit of carpet and tack it to the wall where you open the door

 

Heres mine, Lives in a garage but wanted to take it out to see how it felt in the snow.

Intercooler was full of snow when we stopped for a few pics.

 

Some people hibernate when the snow comes & some get their ski's, toboggan, sledge or snowboards out & have a blast, get out there & enjoy it while it lasts guys.

 

i quite enjoy driving in the snow, set the diff to lock and go, just the RE070 with 3mm tread really dont like gripping haha! 4 wheel no drive in some bits of snow :P

 

No snow at NBO this year but 2 years ago




The misses forgot to put the car in DUH



350z was a complete waste of time




Fish weren't too happy neither



Igloo never got finished



Maybe the snow might come today as its cold enough at NBO as the Greenwagon fancies a trip out with its friends

 

RE 070's are deadly in the snow, even with full tread as I found out in 2004 so it's really not advisable to take the car out in snow if you have them fitted
One of the reasons I fit winter tyres in winter is due to the fact that the hills here mean you need grip and stopping power, something summer tyres don't give you!

passed a brass money looking for his ***** this morning.

Temp gauge said -21 when I got in the car to take the boy to playschool.
brrrrr! chilly

winter tyres with spikes and no worries.

 

I really struggle to get the tyre thing across to people. No doubt we will soon have the threads telling us how peope were flying up hils past 2wd cars that were completely stuck and how great their AWD Scoobs are etc. etc. Which unless you have winter tyres fitted is nonsense and people being economical with the truth.

There is a hill up to my house that is about 1 in 4 and in the garage I have my Scoob fitted with Michelin Pilot Sports. On the drive I have a Volvo V40 fited with Vredestein winter tyres. I know which one I will be using to go up and down that hill in the next few days..... and it isn't the Scoob as it would not get up the hill, 4 wheels spinning with no grip isn't any better than 2!!

 

It'll be fine once I've cleared a bit of snow off the roof...

 

As it stands at the moment, just cleared in front of the garage, may take it out later..!!


and one from last year..

 

^^ Looking good ( car and garage )

 

Had to take it out of it's nice warm underground car park and take it to work - good fun though! Although I am quite nervous driving it as I've not even owned it a week yet haha!

 

Methinks you win!

 

mine looked like this when i left work earlier its now thawing in the garage

 

 

Dont think il be takeing my scoob out to meny scary drivers on road!

 

 

The Winter tyre thing is always fun. I had a friend rub his hand over his dry tyre last night, then over my Pirelli Sottozero. " Ah" he said- "now I get it" His normal tyre felt like hard plastic at -2 whereas mine was all soft and grippy, even stone cold. The Tread is not the reason they sork so well!
