Hi folks.

Drove to my parents for a little holiday last week, on my return i set up the Gopro camera for 1 pic/sec and made a time lapse of the trip.

Considering we had about 3 feet of snow I was rather skeptical about what the driving conditions would turn out.

Luckily half the trip was with perfect conditions, a bit of snow but nothing to worry about.

The last half was not so good, a bit of loose snow made for medium visibility and at times very disorientating due to white outs.

Also hit some 15-20cm snow fingers while doing 80kmh(50mph) during a white out, that's always exciting

The movie show quite good how the visibility was, but you don't get the sense of disorientation from it that I got when driving.

The trip was about 500km(310miles), and including the ferry took close to 10hours.

Unfortunately the SD-card got full 10 minutes before reaching my destination.

As to the snow capabilities of the Mk1, I LOVE it.

It`s just amazing how quickly you can accelerate with it, and at low speeds

<50mph it is a brilliant car to drift in the snow.

Also amazed at how well it pulls through deep snow, it`s not 4WD good, but pretty darn close at times.

Mind you, i do use studded tires made for Nordic conditions, they have much more thread and a softer rubber than the normal European tires.

Still, cant wait for the spring to come and get the R888`s back on.
