Skied at Cairngorm today. Coaxed average 52.7 mpg over the 170 mile journey back. Not bad for a barely run in 7 day old 4WD car with just 1,200 miles on the clock.

And here's the Yeti in the car park at 11.00 am this morning.

The picture's bad I know but the car is shiny under the snow as it's only 3 days old. Anyhow, what with the blizzard blowing me sideways, it was all I could do to get out of the car and snap this one.

Does this count as the first Yeti in snow picture for winter 2010/2011 ?

Yeti near Moffat 1.00 am November 8th 2010 ...

How have you got on in 4x4 mode?? has it engaged yet??

Still building confidence at the moment to be honest & as a lease car, snow tyres not an option yet. In this photo taken on the journey up this morning about 15 miles north of home, I switched into the snowy lanes a few times, something that I wouldn't even have considered in the Megane R26 that the Yeti replaced. I did deliberately drive all 4 wheels into deep mud yesterday when I picked up someone from paintball down in Annan but no idea when or if the 4WD has engaged. Car did get very muddy though.

The Haldex is so quick you don't notice it coming in. All I noticed was a very short bit of spin from the front wheels.
