Ahhh so what!!!!
Adam

That's not snow...just a little surface frost Didn't notice anything alerting about the weather too...

Whats wrong with snow Try going up a welsh mountain in it

Let me guess which was the best car in them conditions

Going up a steep road one of the other cars stopped. I was left trying to start off on sheet ice, needed abit of pushing Worked a treat on the roundabouts

Studded tires ftw!

I'm curious, are you driving with summer tires around year?

We need to change winter tires here, it is because of law and perhaps good for health too

When I came back from job interview there was crossing where I did turned and then decided to accelerate bit faster to 80kph, tires spinning trough 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, no grip Then I noticed I had already bit more speed, but it is not my fault, it is just too much fun to accelerate sideways

In the Uk we have the same tyres all year round. We very rarely have snow to be fair so there is not much point!!

I like lot from uk already

Snow is sure pretty, but it makes so many problems

Adam , thats SNOW (see what I did there )excuse for not turning up

Hey Ad I didnt go either - same reason, we should have had a Ludlow mini meet!

Wimp

We went through over 50 miles of propper snow including the well known mega steep hill on the 55.

My brother was driving and he is used to snow.

But fair play I understand you did not want to take part in

Bend my ride!
