Monkey_matt Posted April 4, 2012 Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Love snow regardless true it was more fun in the GT-Four, but snow wont stop me taking the 7 out, just have to be a bit more careful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chan110 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 Interestingly, when I had a BMW turning the traction control off (or put a dead body in the boot) made it easier in the snow. If I was caught out in the snow in my Gen4, is there anything I can do to make it easier in the snow? (Obviously I don't have space in the boot for 4 winter tyres or justify snow chains) Love snow regardless true it was more fun in the GT-Four, but snow wont stop me taking the 7 out, just have to be a bit more careful More fun making doughnuts I guess?

Talking about my GT-Four here, Purposely taking it sideways on base here, on normal roads take corners normally, so no sideways No, monkey matt had a Gen 6 GT4 (also know as a Faff) before his Gen 7, all GT4's are AWD, there was never a Gen 7 with AWD unfortunately Correction, I still have the GT-Four just cant use it on the road but possibly slowly stripping her out for track use for me and the lass Edited April 4, 2012 by Monkey_matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
