omj624p Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 I was lucky enough to wake up to a decent amount of snow this morning, and we have a large empty car park near us! So firstly I did some FWD drifting in my mk5 fiesta on the way in to work (actually got quite good at it too). And secondly I took my 1/5 RC Petrol buggy out for a spin in!!! Judging by the traffic jams and grumpy looking faces in cars, I have had quite an enjoyable morning compared to most Anyone else have snow this morning? Or get to have a play in it? Steve
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 we got a light covering not played in it last time i kerbed my wheel
red-rum816 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 i got snow in tilbury essex, aint been playing yet tho.
NginEEr Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 been out for 2 hours in it in the mk5 fiesta. they really do have twtchy back ends if u throw em i discovered that in the damp lol better in the snow
antz Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 not this time. last time i went out though, I was out for two fulls days drifting all over even went up on Olivers mount race track in Scarborough and had a good play. The result was a very poorly running Volvo. I thrashed hell out of it and the petrol ran really low and I think it sucked some shit up into the injection system. A full bottle of redex later and it ran ok
OldskoolSue Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 We had snow down here,by the time i got out though it had gone.

gpcmatric Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 was on call last night transit goes sideways very well
omj624p Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Posted January 6, 2009 Well amazingly the big car park is still full of snow! I've just spent an hour there in the escort And the good bit, my g/f also had a go, she was actually getting the hang of kicking the back out and controlling a slide!!! We were not going crazy, and we both agree that controlling a car in a slide/snow/ice should be compulsary in your driving lessons. Doing this sort of thing has saved me and my car on MANY occasions I can tell you. Steve
Tom Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 I had to test the 4wd out on my Audi, Just to see if worked properly though
NginEEr Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 controlling a slide is compulsry in sweeden so ive heard but can you blame them for the snow there
