Not a very exciting picture from me but I'm sure I'll photoshop it later!!

 

[superkarl]

those first pics are brilliant. a lad on here posted one in the pics thread, an imola against all the white snow looked awesome

 

[s3dave]

Some nice cooling of the brakes on the first pic...lol

 

[Welly]

We only got the lightest of dustings down here in farmer land, so not really any opportunity for getting out and playing about... Didn't stop me taking pictures though...

Do it mate, thats exactly what I did last year!

I think we're due some later in the week down this way, but I don't think it will be much. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7days.asp?zipcode=GL11.

We got about an inch maybe just over, and that was mostly on the hills.

Yet everyone seemed to forget how to drive.

i wanted an imola, but when i was buying there was either pre facelift, or facelift with yellow interior, i wanted facelift with full black leather. everytime i see an imola i punch myself

I know the feeling dude, really love the yellow but when i bought mine it had so much history and optional extras i would have been silly not to buy it, especially as all the others i had seen was a rough as a dog, im happy with it now TBH even though i'd love a yellow one but having said that silver is by far the fastest colour, as we all know

And the yellow ones break the most IMO...

That's why mine is now a yellow/black hybrid... I thought it might reduce breakages by 50%.

Silver is stealth in the snow.....

My journey this morning was exactly the same, people stuck all over the place, a white van man giving it far too much right foot and just snakeing side to side where i just drove calmly past them all with no fuss at all, even had to do a hill start and she just pulled off with just the smallest amount of wheelspin and trundled off up the hill.
Quattro FTW hahaha

 

[superkarl]

Haldex FTW

 

[Broken Byzan]

Snow, what snow ?



You buggers, not more than 3 flakes here, must the snow less capital of the UK

 

[dancarpy]

[S3KO4]

I want to take some pic, but there is hardly any snow here ! NW London

 

[jdas03]

No snow really in portsmouth either! meant to be some tonight though! worst thing is i dont have my car at the moment so i cant go for a play even when it snows :-(

 

[NoggyS3]

Some cool pic's!

I hope it does snow heavy tonight jdas, im just up the road from portsmouth. There is a car park next to a field 2mins from my house that's always empty during the week. If it does then i will be phoning work saying " I can't get out of my road" then its play time!

 

[jdas03]

[jesters3]

Waaaaaaaahhhhhh

[alijames]

Still very boring here in Oxfordshire. Totalled around 3mm snow over the last week. Enough to close the golf course, but not enough for having any fun in the snow...

Have still come to work on the motorbike every day this week!

Cheers,

 

[wibble111]

I cant believe some of you guys have only had a light sprinkling, this was took at 11ish this morning, the car was completely clear when i got to work at 7.30. Its been snowing all day and still continues to come.

 

[Lemon S3]

Haven't taken any pictures this year yet but here's a few from last time it snowed.

There's a crap load more snow this year so a bigger better snow body kit is achieveable

 

[S3KO4]

I like the wheel arches, now all you need is a set of 40mm spacers to fill them in

 

[dancarpy]

Filmed a little bit with my iphone last night !
not alot of grip and little space so the drifts are a bit slow compared to other peoples videos
im hoping to get out tomorrow in the daylight with my proper camera and a bigger place !

 

[Lemon S3]

Nothing's come up mate.

 

[dancarpy]

strange...i can see it ! :S
