Good effort Malcolm!

I must admit, going uphills is fine but downhills on ice is always nerve-wracking - if they break traction and 2.5 tonnes of RR start sliding, there's not much hope of getting it back!

Personally, it's been fine in 2nd or drive for all the uphills, but downhills I have stuck it in low range and mostly second so far, although would use 1st on anything particularly steep/icy!

1st low range might be too low! That's what I was in when I has my little mishap. I think I may have retained traction if I had been in 2nd low. Maybe.

Have done the motorbike-in-the-snow thing myself - one particular journey involved 4 hours up the A1 in a snow storm that caused HGV's to pull over rather than carry on! All on a Triumph TT600. Fun fun...

Sorry they're a bit late but I've just got in...
Just to show you that you can get snow under your RR tires without having a bad day!

think the OP was expecting some pics of a RR IN snow, and not parked ON snow - there's hardly a picture where the entire depth of yer tyres cant be seen

IN snow not ON snow

this wasnt particularly deep but it's getting on for a foot deep, and it's not on me drive, in a layby or missing a roof

a thought posting a few of a 110 would stir you lot up, apparently not

Ah Sean Here's one of my old 200tdi actually in snow (it drove out of there an hour later)

and my P38 going places others feared to thread

How long did you have to wait for recovery??

Is that all the metal for the future welding on the right in photo 1?

No need! This is just my run to work, in fact I was the only one who made it in by car!
I love driving in the snow!

yeah, I'm expecting to have to do the rear crossmember a few times, thought you defender guys would know all about that

Whatever you guys want to say about P38's and their problems, rust aint one of them!!!

Not actually this year, was December last year after drift bashing up some mountain in Wales, snow up to 4ft in places. I did manage to get it stuck in one drift, hey ho.

kooky_guy · Dec 3, 2010

Here's another one from later in Jan this year.

I did go out again last night but it was too dark for photies.
