Well, how could I resist? We're up to just over 2 inches here in Bucks, so had to take the RR out for a quick spin.
Main roads were already fairly compacted down as people made their way home, but the back roads were fresh virgin snow. Round here's it pretty hilly which usually makes things a little trickier, but pleased to say no trouble whatsoever for the RR:
- Tried a (childish!) full-throttle standing start and whilst the T/C chimed in briefly, it just went for it as if on dry tarmac
- Tried a foot-to-the-floor stop and the ABS worked perfectly, did obviously take longer to stop than normal but not by as much as I'd expect
- On the steepest uphill I could find I came to a complete stop, gave it a decent amount of throttle and again no wheelspin, no upset, just drove beautifully.
Overall this one is better than my last Classic I reckon, mostly down to the Insa Turbo Traction track A/T tyres I reckon. Anyway, here's a couple of pics and a short video to follow - enjoy!
