Yep was snowing very heavy last night, was working night shift, hoping it wouldnt settle. Lucy it didnt, the roads were all clear.

Mind you between 12-30am and 4am the way it was coming down, it was like making up for all the years that snow didnt fall.

if you pack snow into the carb trumpets it will cool the air charge and give you more power :D


thats a bit of a shame, but hey theres always next time.


OH and for those of you with eagle F1's and toyo T1's i wouldnt advise venturing out in the snow as they have less grip than most all year tyres. one of the krouts here had his summer tyres on and it snowed, he couldnt even drive it down a level street oops

well after all that me bro took 3 attempts to come and get me for work as i wasnt going to r/r, spent 2 hrs on site messing around and sent the blokes home as i managed to wangle full days pay for them and myself :D, the thaw hasnt started yet and in the end we've had 5" snow, nice white roads all compacted and a 45 min journey to do the 2 miles back home lolol

my old megane and this bloody mazda 2 courtesy car can't get off my dads drive when it snows, the drive just freezes over and is quite a steep hill.

I'm dieing to get my Evo back though, it has a snow setting for the Active Centre Diff(I think!), I dont know what it does, but I want to try it!! lol :)
