snow

There were 2 feet of snow in front of my house!

Instead of winter tyres, try skids and rockets: :rock: Photo: Charles Kaminski / National Science Foundation / U.S. Antarctic Program Photo Library

It doesn't bother all of us ;-) I can't see how he will get the shopping in the back though :crazy:

Given all the snow / bad weather how about posting up your best 'Mercedes in the snow' picture. One picture allowed, does not have to be complete car it can be 'arty' as long as part of it is showing. Please make sure sensible size also.

Hi All, I am having problems driving my car in the snow. The car skids at every opportunity. My previous car (a volvo s40 ) was very good in the snow. Is this a mercedes problem? Do I need to get winter tires?

Repost, please delete! I did actually search aswell!

Hi folks, Just thought I'd share a pic of what my car is up to in the snow! Kamal

:doh:

So the wagon has four Michelin Alpin A4's on it. Awesome in the snow! Not a hint of ABS kicking in unless harsh on the brakes and epic grip up the steepest hills in ice and snow! The Fiat 500 on the other hand, what a different story. It has the stock 185 width Dunlop sports on 15 inch wheels...

I woke up yesterday morning to a snow covered road with little chance of getting out in the Merc or BMW. I disappeared into the garage and emerged a short while later with my newly created 30 inch bladed snow plough. Namely a wooden post with a 30" square piece of wood screwed to it. 30...

Shamelessly stolen from another forum, but thought it might amuse a few here. Made me laugh :)

just discovered that my CLK does not like to drive in the snow...:) went to work side ways! I think I'll take her car when it snows.

This is what I'm talking about!...The traction on these is superb :D...

With all the disquiet about fitting winter tyres on the forum, I bet a few drivers would like an even better alternative. I t brings a new meaning to cutting up the other traffic! MERCEDES UNIMOG SNOW PLOUGH / SNOW BLOWER 2 MTR WIDE on eBay (end time 01-Jan-11 22:24:24 GMT)

Hi all, I'm meant to be driving to the highlands near Elgin on Saturday and the forecast looks bad. I don't have much scope to change the date so I'm looking for any local info for my route as the week progresses into the Thursday and Friday forecasted snow. My route will be M40, M6, M78, A9...

The E Class 350 is my first Merc. When I bought the car in the back of my mind I was worried about the snow in winter because of the rear wheel drive. When the first snow hit last week I decided to drive the car with standard tyres and found that they were far from ideal (spinning at every...

Gosh who would have thunk it. My cousin reports that he got stuck on snowy motorways and had to endure 9 hours stationary, 3 hours of crawling and constant moaning from direction of passenger seat (containing my aunt, who is not a patient woman at the best of times) to finish the last 30...

Guys I ended up clearing the ice and snow off my car today but dont know if this was such a good thing or idea as I am worried about scratching her and if I have now by doing this left tiny sratches on the surface of the paintwork. I used my hands to do the majority and the rest from the heat...
