Hi Guys,

Thought I would share with you some pictures of my Coupe out in the snow last week. Although not the best images (captured using my fruit-telephone!)





She made it all the way to the highest point of the North Yorkshire Moors with no problems, passing stranded Subaru's etc - a decent set of winter tires makes all the difference!


An enjoyable pint of coke was had at the Blakey Ridge pub too

Anyone else willing to share pictures of Coupes in the recent cold weather?

Sorry to be a kill joy, can I stress in weather like the above if you don't have to, don't go out.
Its far to easy to get stuck or hit by some one else and then be another issue services have to deal with.
Coupes, the turbo variety mainly due to the visco do OK in the snow but by no means spectacular.

It was certainly better than sitting in Pickering all night, 40miles from home!
Was a perfectly clear road 6 hours previously when going the other way, shows how quick things can change!

Coupes are good in the snow. I'm still waiting for some this winter.

In the past my coupes have done well in the snow....couple of years back I remember passing countless BMW & Chelsea tractors on my way home

prob mainly due to sensible driving, and the dif....

These are not new but it does show that coops are not scared of the Snow - well not when they have hardy north west & Welsh drivers

This pic even got on the telly











Ah them was the days

Never had a problem in the snow in nearly 16 years of ownership, and we get a far bit of snow here. The essential point is that it always wears 4 of the right tyres for the season. Even taken it to the Alps once or twice on ski holidays. Still have to drive sensibly mind, as the laws of physics don't change. Nowadays, I try not to even get in a car with summer tyres when it is snowy or icy. Yes you can do it, but once you have experienced a modern winter tyre, there is no going back

^ too true, we seem to be slow catching on concerning winter tyres and if more people had them it would make for safer,less congested roads in the winter.
I was driving home on the A303 on Friday night and although it was plus 10 degrees, people were still driving like it was minus 10, doing 40mph on single and dual carriageways. This led to frustrated drivers making dangerous overtaking manouvers at 80mph in the dark/rain, it was like everyone had gone bonkers!

For a performance car our Coupes are very good in ice and snow. The narrower the tyres are the better - my stage 3 Scottie (on 205s) is much better than my VT6 on 225s. The best tyres are the space-savers!!

In snow, yes, but for the rest of the time, you need a tyre that can cope with normal use, hence don't go below the minimum tyre size suitable for the car in question.

i've never had issues driving in the snow. A few years ago I drove all the way back from bluewater shopping centre to canterbury and was the only car on the motorway due to the snowy conditions!

snow driving is all about forward planning

Also, don't forget that narrower tyres require higher pressures...
