I used to use my 4x4 cossie all the time in snow, they are very capable indeed.

Ive used my Porka this morning and that is very good aswell, the 4x4 system on that deals with it very well. Did get a few odd looks though.

Not used mine in the snow since 2005 lol, but it was great. I have fond memories of taxiing friends home on a saturday night/sunday morning during one really bad snow storm with no other cars around. Wasn't so good when I put 18's an 35 profiles on it though.
The M5 on winters copes exceedingly well and i run that every day, some people think i'm mental driving that in the snow but i'd be stuck if I took the other car. i saw a RWD saph the other day, first time Ive seen another cossie on the road in about a year and I see it during winter, pretty cool and ironic.

I used mine yesterday when it started going for it, made a quick dash home before it got too bad. Took ten minutes to get her back on the driveway. Was all over the place. Mine is RWD though
