wish it was like that here, nothing at all really, we had a few days of sheet ice which was very good fun, loved it in my BM, scooby is out of action waiting a replacement engine. only bad thing about it is my abs is shockingly poor on the bmw, but it is old so ill let it off.
I watched a 7 series BMW in the car park on Saturday. It's back end was everywhere. The bloke did a fantastic job getting it out. Hats off to him. I would have been pooping myself

Scares me to death

Only has rear wheel drive cars - BMW and Pork!! The Pork is good with weight over the rear end but the tyres are SO wide they just sledge over fresh snow!! Earlier 911 was better as it had narrower tyres.
Don't need one of those gay Scoobs to get about

It's not so much snow here, just ice pretending to be snow. A few flakes fell 2 days ago and froze on top of what started to melt. Thus, creating a sense of false security when stepping out with the nippers this morning.
Fecking weather needs to sort itself out.
Oh and my car was so frozen this am that I had to wipe the defrosted ice of the *inside* of the back window.
Christmas is gone so...... winter is officially ****e!

Plenty here in North Lincs. Came down saturday night, started to thaw, then froze hard and hasn't got above freezing since despite two days of bright sunshine.
-9 degrees here last night
And as someone else posted, INSIDES of windscreens frozen. Took me 20 minutes to start, defrost and thaw out the wife's car this morning

Yep. It's a right pain. And who said Scoobies were good in the snow. Mine is diabolical.
Anyone says it is the driver, will get a swift kick up the ass
BMW's were strewn across the county a few days ago - now, either BMW drivers are dicks, or the rear wheel drive doesn't work in the snow .... or both!!
ppft, point to point race anytime you fancy it Pete

I live in the middle of nowhere so no gritters and our road has been pack ice since a week before Christmas. Four cars have gone off within 50 yards of our house, including a Forester.
Not had a moment in either the BMW or the GT3
