Default Scoobys and Snow....So much fun

Just finish a 12 hour night shift, came out to find a couple of inchs of snow and an amost empty car park.
So had to have a bit of play before making my way home. Great fun

But more seriously it's the first time in three years of ownership i have driven it in snow, and was very surprised how easy it was to drive.

Anybody taking the day off work coz they can't get there??

Don't think i'd fancy driving when the roads get busy, doesn't matter how well your car drives in the snow, doesn't stop some muppet braking to late or aggresively sliding into you.

My mate was late for work this morning coming from Blackwood as he said it was that bad & his mrs couldnt even get her BMW down the road cos it kept sliding !

I drove home this morning from the Bay at around 6am and it was like driving in Russia on the motorway !.... didnt even know what lane we were in !! Scoob was superbly stuck to the road tho ....
