Snow in the U.K

[Fah-q]

And what do you do for entertainment?

well i used to get high constantly, but i've uit that shit now. now i just get pissed a lot, and mess around with cars and bikes and anything else with an engine. Fair play though, there is a good group of lads here, we have a good laugh. there is a town two miles down the road, thats a bit more lively. or a 20 min drive to the nearest (small) city for good night life. I'm not completely in the sticks lol.

Dosn't everyone in the UK have a Range Rover, mine did pretty good in the snow.

Do you have pics of your E30?

[QUKBMER]

I used mine almost everyday,I lived in Big Bear lake,CA for 4 years and drove up and down the hill 6 days aweek to SGV. When it was dry i drove the e30. Loved that damn truck,lost it due to divorce.

That sucks, you can get some decent disco II's for pretty cheap now.

it really depends on the region, here in NC we dont get a whole lot. only the main roads get treated and plowed and sometimes not even that. So on a surprise snow day the city can become pretty dicey with a good number of wrecks.

but from my limited snow driving experience:

start out in 2nd gear so you dont put ANY power down or you will just spin
prepare to stop early, if you think theres a chance youll have to stop go ahead and start downshifting
do not stop on a hill, just dont do it

Yup sure can I am on the hunt for a Disco II SE (not the 7 with the 2 rear jump seats) in Nigeria Grey, that needs head Gaskets and did not have the Air ride suspension in the ass end.

Last one I saw like that when I was looking every day was 2700

Snow tires do WONDERS. Seems like last year I had my 4x4 Chevy Colorado in 2WD mode more than 95% of the snow storms. Here in New England we can get some pretty good amounts of snow and ice on the ground and most people just sit and pout at home all day anyways. I spent most of that time practicing my 3rd gear Snow Drifts everywhere I possibly could hahaaha. E30 can be saved for the dry though. I think you should walk out to the nearest intersection and laugh as the 5mph uncontrollable sliding accidents happen every hour on the hour :D

ye mate, needs a bit of work, but i'm in the right job for that. plus i got it pretty cheap, so can't complain...........

I am convinced that Euro has M-tech 2s like we have Cavaliers.

Okay, so i think most of you guys are from the U.S right? How do you all cope with snow so well?? And you get shit loads of it. I live in the u.k, north wales to be exact, and it seems a couple of inches of snow and the whole country is fucked. I've not been able to leave my village today as the roads are lethal, its just one big road of ice. WE ARE ALL FUCKED!! Its pathetic! Yet, from what i gather, you guys just get on with it. Whats your secret? And do you really cope that well?

Did someone say Ice?

*I love whoring this.

Simple answer. We're all nuts.

Perhaps you need to move north?

E30 + Snow tires = WIN

snow is no big deal for me personally, my snows are studless but ice rated. passed many sliding and stuck trucks, made it up a hill that was otherwise a crooked parking lot for most other cars, among many other shenanigans.

Plow, or shovel.

This came down in a day and a half last year.
