Talking with my bruv about the upcoming snow and thinking of buying a 340 for a couple of weeks as they are truly awesome in the snow... between us we came up with this as a concept...  Apologies for the shoddy photoshopping work but you get the idea! Graham |

Meh, I don't get why everyone gets so excited about snow. It just means it takes twice as long to get to/from work and the salt means your underbody rots ten times as fast. Then some giffer in a Carlton nearly sideswipes you and forced you up the pavement knocking your tracking out. Its pretty to look at but my cars stay home when it snows.  This is why I live on a bus route. |

This is why I live on a bus route. And I walk from bedroom to spare room to work   Nice idea for the Volvo but really needs to be a 240 to continue the tank analogy ;D |

Meh, I don't get why everyone gets so excited about snow. It's the same every year. A weatherman reports some potential of snow and everyone goes nuts with excitement. It snows and the country falls into utter chaos as if WW3 has started. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

Bah I hate snow. The likelihood of it snowing here in Cornwall is slim though. A year ago 0.035cm of snow fell and cast the region into anarchy... which, for a northerner, was quite amusing to watch ;D I've got work to do on my car (no garage) so I'm REALLY not relishing the thought of snow right now  |

grahamwithimps in da house:
Snow comingHaving been spared from the white stuff I had some real high hopes for a non-white winter for the first time in years but on Saturday night we got dumped on, 50 cm of the white stuff and then some 10 cm more yesterday, the Volvo Tractor did it's thing with no problems so I have a snow free driveway and can go between the house and workshop now I just need one of these to have fun with.....  DP says: Fun & games in the snow, the dog loves it, the cat refuese to go out.....

I use my motorbike when it snows... No tread on the rear tyre, and a temperamental 130ish bhp should make it interesting this year! hehe

2CV's in the snow, bloody ace, narrow big wheels and little power, they can drive round a lot of supposedly more capable stuff in this type of weather, i love it.
