Snow at last
Sitting here waiting for nightshift to finish, so I can get out and play. Heavy snow since 3am, with still another 3 hours of it to come before I get the grin factor

Needless to say, I'm the same. However, with only 250 miles on the clock and a 'significant' fall of snow here, I'm more inclined to take the 300Tdi out today.......
Why?? Because the 300 has BFG A/Ts etc, and I don't want anybody who doesn't have the driving ability or the 4wd to be sliding into my new D3! Besides, driving on snow is hardly a 'new thing' here!! 8)

Car was absolutely outstanding this morning. Snow ranged from 8" to nearly 2' in places with significant drifting. No tracks, just virgin snow on the road, but a lot of abandoned cars.
Came across some cars stuck and going nowhere, but the D3 drove as if nothing there. One young lad in his C2 actually mouthed 'B'stard!!' as i indicated and swept past him.
Also had a good few hooligan moments, turning the snow mode and DSC off, getting it to fourwheel drift around big roundabouts On long straights actually aiming for the drifts recreating the scene from the D3 advert and the eskimo.
Fan-bloody-tastic!!!

Driving down from Charlesworth this afternoon jabbed the passenger wheels through a few 12" drifts at the side of the road - none more than about 3 feet wide though Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
