snow

This is becoming a bit of a habit now,car tucked up in garage on trickle charge waiting for a fine dry sunny day,yes I know I am dreaming again but surely soon we will be able to cruise and get the roof down again.:wallbash:

My frustration with the over cautious warning system on my C63 PPP reached new heights (or lows) today. It snowed. I drove in the snow. The snow stuck to the front of the car. Everytime I slowed to whatever speed the parking system cuts in, it started beeping furiously, presumably thinking I...

Each time bad weather comes, especially snow, it brings forth lively discussion, some in favour of 4 X 4s, others in favour of snow/winter tyres. Autocar magazine tested two Skodas in the snow, one fitted with winter rubber,the other with four wheel drive. The shock finding (for some) was that...

How have you all coped with the recent weather...I haven't been out much in the MB, not fancying putting it round a lamp post and all... Favouring one of my old Astra "pool" vans, which is pretty good in the snow/ice. Out in it today and I was surprised how well it was on the un-gritted side...

Yay the snow is melting so i can finally take her out for a drive.

So heavy snow fall today meant I got caught in difficult conditions just a mile from home. On an incline, white roads kerb to kerb. The car infront stopped so I had no option to also stop and then could not get going again, back end sliding to the nearside. Two guys pushed me up the hill until...

My first snowy winter with my CLK and I can tell you that it has been fun!! As the car is so light in the back, it gets stuck very easily, but I manage anyway and I still love it :thumb:

Right, this AM, I decided to tackle the issue of my cars apparent dirtiness. Its toured been to York, Cumbria, Lancashire, Yorkshire, Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh and back to forward to work in the inclement weather, well cold rain and snow. Its only seen snow once. Anyway, it was at a state it...

So who is having fun driving in the snow,I hate it couldn't even get my car out of the drive wheels just kept spinning :fail

Hi I know this is an annoying and stupid question, but I have looked in the thread with the PDF link and despite almost understanding it all, I still can't find out what my tyre sizes are - as I am away from my car for a few days... Could anyone be a massive help and tell me what size tyres I...

I wasn't too impressed the first time I used pressure washer and snow foam, but I was a little more organised this time and it went a bit better. Setup : Nilfisk 110, Autobrite lance and Magifoam. Settings : A couple of inches of magifoam in the bottom of the container, topped up with water...

I've never understood all the fuss about winter tyres, partly because in bucks, we only get bad snow and ice for a week at the most. During the past few winters using carefull driving, I have been able to get around perfectly fine with my all season contis. The only time I have got stuck, is...

Which ones would be recommended for a w230 SL 500?

A quick query... I need some snow chains for the car I'm driving down to Italy, and as always, the chains I have don't fit (any of them). Before I order some chains, I was considering snow socks... I've never tried them tbh, but everyone raves about them so I'm tempted. The only...

Hi, I am thinking of buying a pair for my CLS 320. The Snocks make is a Which best buy, however, does anyone have any experience with these. Are they any good really? They cost around £60 a pair and the reviews on line seem mixed.

I'm thinking about splashing out (pardon the pun) on a snow foam setup, including detergent, lance and pressure washer. It'll probably be used to wash two cars every three or four weeks, and the pressure washer won't be used or anything else, so I'm not looking to spent much on the PW itself...

Winter tyres fitted :D
