Wish we had more snow here!

That looks awesome fun

 

You should come over some time to visit the mountains in the winter

 

looks like fun but that blow off valve would drive me mad!!

 

Me too!!

Does look like fun though!!

 

I agree, we aint had proper snow round here for donkeys years!

 

like your own rally stage

 

It's normal B-road actually. Not a big one but there is some traffic there.

 

still cool as though

 

Looks fun

 

'Praying' Please snow lots! Please snow lots! Please snow lots! Please snow lots!

 

im prayin for snow and i dont have a car

 

snow and cars and large empty spaces are great


Tho if i was on that road in the video i'd probably end up down the bank in the trees

 

Now that would certainly end in tears if i had a go at that!

 

The guy isn't a rallydriver or anything, it's really much easier then it looks. Escos does incredibly well, and I am sure 4x4 Sierra would be even better. You need winter tyres though.

 

ive had abit of snow driving but on a small track so cant get mad angles like that not in a kia sportage any way

 

Yesterday I was caught out by sudden heavy snowfall...

When I drove up to where I had to be there was no snow and by the time I left it was 30 to 40 cm's of it!
Because it started freezing as the well the motorway iced up and it took me 5 hours to get home instead of one...so do I like driving in snow?


NO!!!

 

i

 

I would never get bored of that ..lol........ !!

.

 

Maybe we should arrange passioford's winter trip to Polish mountains some day

 

when i have a job, money and something rwd/4wd ill come

 

I loved the snow up in Peterborough last year in my Pulsar, Shame its off the road for this xmas

Some pictures from one of the Norwegian members on the GTIROC...

was in finland last feb with work and had a day on the snow test track ahem driver training lol
more like go for it have a laugh got told dont worry abbout the snow banks they wont hurt the cars 19td golf and a 320 bm all day giving them greif

We havnt had proper snow here since about 1989/90

i hate driving in the "snow" cos every bugger does 25-30mph.
Like sunday when we had about 1" which was slush puppy after about 1 hour, and it was like the whole road network came to a stand still.

 

It's about the same here, we are a bit more lucky because big part of the cars is being fitted winter tyres, but still they drive so slowly in snow....

 

Where's your sig from mate, feel I should recognise it but not sure why

Was going to say you must be on winter tyres ,we have them they are great gives you lots of confidence on the snow

 

Yeh but the irony is we havnt had "snow" (well north essex anyway)
since 1989.

every year our country comes to a standstill for about 2-3 days because we get a layer of slush puppy..

If we had snow like in that video, the whole counrty would be in a right state!

 

LOL


In Warsaw there is never much snow, there is several centymeters on the roads for couple of hours sometimes couple of days, but generally we don't get that much. You have to Drive to different part of the country to see proper snow these days. Although in 2002 I think there was huuuge snowfall, I had to dig out my car and even then I had huge trouble to even get out of the car park.

 

Looks like awesome fun, id be up there all day I rekon. You just need to tell your mate to change that blow off valve

 

Apparently it's his dad's car

 

just out of interest, why would a 4x4 sierra be even better?

 

longer wheel base?

 

i love driving in the snow; sadly in this country; the slightest bit of snow brings the whole conntry to a standstill

 

remember doing that in my turbo technics xr4x4 up around castleton,was great fun and never got stuck once.

 

Exactly, longer wheel base cars are easier to drive in snow. I think of all the cars I have driven in big snow the old Legacy Turbo was the best. You could really keep you foot planted in it.

 

I have to admit that I like how that boxer sounds, but that BOV is just the most ricey I have ever heard.

Yes, I like driving in the snow, tho I think gravel/asphalt on summer is even more fun. Difference is just that whit RWD car like mine in winter there is no boring moments behind the feel...

But it's shame that we cant use "proper" stud tires like WRC cars, on road. The grip with average stud tires is very low = no speed while sliding.

 

Mate, we can't use any studded tyres on road here in Poland even in the mountains
