How can you not take the scoobs out in the snow!!! Its good fun, this year im putting the standard wheels on though, surprising how much grip the car has in the snow, even with crap tyres....

Probably very wise mate.

If there is only a couple of inches, I'll take the scoob out, more than that and I won't be tempted this year.

I'll do what everyone else did if it's bad again.......

Yep, agree with that Steve. I was out in the scoob last year in 6-8 inches up in Ashdown Forest and nearly got stuck a fair few times - and thats on standard suspension.

Now its been dropped a bit i think anything more than 2-3 inches and i'll be taking the day off work

I didn't even get out of my road last year. Some of my neighbours attempted to go to work, got stuck half way up the road (which is an incline) then, when they ran out of traction, left their cars there and thus blocked the road for everyone else.

I hate driving in the snow.

Too many 4x4's driving at normal speed, big accident waiting to happen.
