Hi

Boxing day snow driving 4x4 down by a local lake. : With ESP , EDL, TCS etc , tyres Pirelli Winter Carving ( no studs) on ice covered roads -5, wife's only gripe was when she got out ,and slipped completely over, landing on her back. Verdict : must buy some decent shoes. In snow as in photo's , our dog thought his walk was shorter than usual due to our playing at amateur rally driving. Happy boxing day to all.

Octy 2, 1.9 TDI PD Ambiant 4x4 Estate and Nissan Sunny 2.0 DLX, Company Octy 1.9 TDI Tor Estate.

That looks colder than -5

Nice pics

The snow looks beautiful! Impressive icicles on the car too.

It's sunny and warm here :sofahide:

Heavy snow? WTF's that???

Smart 'winter' dog too! What breed?

I want snow and I want it now !!!!!!!

Where abouts is that lake?

My daughter is over from Miami Beach and is shivering in her boots (and that is at +6 degrees - no ice!!! )

Hi

Our dog is a flat black coated retriever/ Collie and likes to swim in this lake. Lake is at Cici nr Velika Gorica close to Zagreb Croatia, temps of -8 are pretty normal, but you can also expect -20, and of course we have ski resorts on higher reaches on Zagreb Mountain. We have antifreeze for -40 in the Octy, and snow can stay for well into new year. Thank you for your comments glad you like the pics.

Fantastic pics - we haven't had a decent amount like that in south east England for years. Very envious!

How did the car handle - did the EDL, TCS and ESP kick in very often? I have the 2WD version, and the ESP light has only kicked in once, giving it full throttle in 2nd gear on a roundabout!
