First time in the snow

[JohnnyC]

It's snowing today and showing no sign of letting up. So today will be the first time to drive the MR2 in the snow Normally I nick the wifes FWD car with traction control but it's too late for that now!

I just feel jinxed that I'd wreck the car - because I just washed it yesterday

"TAXI"....

Lol !! I've never known of a car quite like a capri 1.6 !! RWD, front engined and still can't manage to spin its wheels !!!

Couldn't pull you outta bed let alone the skin off custard !

I'm sure with nitrous, its should at least blow the engine apart, might give it character !!

[Steve Horrocks]

lol, even better with a worn cam sounding sooooo appealing on a cold mornin!!

managed a few ar$e end out moments, but you tend to have to be at speed first & jus throw it in! cant jus floor it like he 2!

and trying to get hold of a 2 litre pinto to throw in it is like rockin horse pooh pooh (well, for nice money anyway!

no sierra's. capri's, cortina's or anythin like that for sale cheap at the mo!! bu88er!

[JJ]

Man.... what are you doing looking at all these old skool cars that have proven to be more trouble than enough.... !

Cortina... yup, 70/80's classic, Seirra... well the cossie owners recon they're the best looking cars in thw world - 80's rep mobile !

I'll keep my friend looking out for 2.0 litre sierras at the car yards for ya !

Still got that crank !!

[Steve Horrocks]

good man, cheers JJ.

yeah, crank still in garage, keepin that block company!!

old skool rules!! although thinkin of changin for a mini now, my mate just got donated a cooper to re-build & i want it!!

or at least, keep crapi as well, but with 2 litre in there, still option of stickin v6 in there but a bit more work!! cant do that in an afternoon like the pinto swap!

When we had that massive snowfall last year it took me over 4 hours to drive home in the Supe - none of the roads had been cleared or gritted - including the A1 ... normally it only takes about 45 minutes to get home.

I wouldn't take any chances. Even though you may take it steady there are plenty of thicko's who don't have a clue how to drive in the dry, never mind on ice and compacted snow.

[tonigmr2]

Indeed - in fact the worst are 4x4 drivers, they think they have much more grip than they actually do and are more prone to plowing into other people who are taking it easy with 2wd!

But taking out an MR2 with LSD in the snow is a must!
I've got quite a steep driveway, and had so much fun last year when it was too icy to get up by normal driving! I accelerated up my road, turned in put my foot down bought the back end round and shot up my driveway!

Now that was fun.
