jim Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 A snow button.... does it snow in Japan? Is the Pope a catholic? Hokkaido (the northenmost island of Japan) gets much more snow than we do. The winter Olympics were held in Sapporo in 1972 and in 1998, they were held in Nagano, a city to the north of Tokyo on the main island of Honshu. See this link for typical weather stats for Sapporo. http://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/travel/sapporo_weather.htm Quote
Zzzz... Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 snow driving? just ignore 1st and 2nd gear... maybe the snowsox will be in use Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 quite a bit here now - roads are ok still apart from the minor ones which are showing signs of becoming a little tricky. Quote
Ian Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Same here Cant get out of the street at the moment though Quote
rickya Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Blemin eck we got abou 5 inches of snow, didnt even bother trying to get the BM up my driveway slope, impossible without 4WD! So borrowed the old mans, old merc, the dam things a work horse, literally ploughed its away all the way to work skidding & squirming on all b roads!! (ps must be true about getting wiser with age, the clever bugg$r has parked his car on the main road last night & not down our sloping road/drive)! Quote
sl114 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 loads here about 10cms worth, im not going to work so working from home and taking the dog out for fun. Quote
nixy Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 you could always switch the snow button switch............. that might help......... Snow button? JDM + Tiptronic Gearbox + Snow Button = Lower torque & no sideways sliding. Love it, works a treat with decent tyres & no problems yet. Really? Is that standard on the JDM Tiptronic? Quote
GC350z Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 ffs not even slush here. Was really looking forward to it. Quote
Sarnie Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Plenty here: Got to leave for work in a bit, pretty worried about smashing my zed up Quote
Stew Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 What a bunch of fannys! Heard on Radio one that you shouldn't go out unless in a 4x4. That's just a trickle of snow! We have more up here but it's not bad for this area. Still wouldn't be taking the Zed out though..... Quote
Sylvester Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Not a flake in Pompey Had my normal blast of fun on the way to work in the Zed.... Unlucky guys!! Quote
Sarnie Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Not a flake in Pompey Had my normal blast of fun on the way to work in the Zed.... Unlucky guys!! Thought you were selling? Quote
mini Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Well, I took the zed out this morning (had no choice) and have eventually arrived in the office!!! The journey was slooooow to say the least, with the only tricky bit tryng to get into the office car park! It was one of those delicate crab crawl manouvers trying not to slam into the side of the building! Glad I bought a spare pair of under pants with me Still gotta get home yet and the forecast is due to get worse Quote
Sylvester Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Still on the cards but me and the Mrs have been sick for most of the last 6 weeks so life has been on hold. And every day I can keep the Zed I will... gives me more time to talk up the budget for the replacement.... Quote
letank87 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Had about 6 inches of snow where I live. Had no choice but to drive the zed to work as the Qashqai I had arranged to take home had a puncture, typical! I drove about 30 miles, mixture of M1 and country lanes, had a few scary moments going up hill (sideways at one point), praying I wouldn't kerb my wheels, but got here fine in the end! Bout time I put my low mu driver training to some good use! Quote
Morg Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Looked out my bed this morning to be greeted by a ....go back to bed vision, so i did just that (after phone call to work to say i'd be working from home ) Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 My Zed's in the driveway and I'm working from home today. Don't fancy the idea of some incompetent to$$er driving into me. Quote
sl114 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 been out again, i love it, got the kids coming over at lunch so taking them off to the park with the dog!!! Yay for snow - im like a kid again Quote
Sgt Wilson Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Nice photos Louis! Particularly like the Boxer's tracksuit! Quote
sl114 Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Nice photos Louis! Particularly like the Boxer's tracksuit! There is no way i am cleaning him every 5 minutes from being in the snow, this was the best thing i have ever bought for him! haha. Its even a Barbour Quote
Stew Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Nice pad Louis, I also like the tracksuit! Quote
