There is one the same in Chepstow..Wonder if it's the same one....The number plate looks like the one....and he takes it out in all weather as well and parks it in car parks in tight spots......I think he had a black and orange interior............This is without a doubt my fav supercar...Looks so good in the flesh.

Just coasted sideways onto my drive and dumped the QP. Nearly hit a hedge is another sideways moment on the way down the lane. These cars aren't designed for the slippery stuff.

Off for a stiff drink....

Which member was filmed in his 3200 in the snow, trying to move?

This was as far as I dared in my first 4200, summer tyres and it struggled to get out of the drive.

We have winter tyres on the M5 and their go anywhere ability is amazing really. I would have been screwed this week without them!

Have winters on my Maser but the snow is too deep to get down the drive. Disco on winters is fine though.

Here's the old car in the snow.

That was bad enough, don't think I'll be trying this in the 3200!

Surely the TVR was worse in the snow than the 3200...Its so much lighter......I moved my T350 in the snow once and put it straight back on the drive....Not a nice experience.

Possibly, though it doesn't have two turbos waiting to try and catch you unawares. Has to be said that wasn't one of my favourite drives!

The snow wasn't here for long, but a 4.4 v8 350bhp X5 with new tyres was quite entertaining and surprisingly capable.

I was doing fine in the Baguette, bought some snow shoes last night (I live in a really out of the way area, I had to cut my own path through the snow today.)

All was going fabulously, until I got stuck behind a Porsche Cayman going 5-10mph

I get closer to him when the roads get a little more urban and he had snow shoes on aswell!!!


Leave them at home in this weather!

5 miles further on and they closed the Gothard Pass, something to do with the weather. The QP handled it all in its stride, on new tyres mind.

Moved house last year in December = garage full of sh1te, car on drive - snow in January
This year things would be different - except for a good mate needing a dry home for a old british sports car with a leaky roof.
He moved in on Wednesday - by Friday it was snowed in.


Before

After - This was the second lot after I had cleared the drive and car of the first 4 inches

I know that feeling RSM, Two weekends ago I spent all weekend liberating my garage from the detritus of two of my children's house moves over the summer! Finally put the car away last Friday just as the snow started!
