Should've bought a 4x4 as a daily

[tc350z]

It's times like this I wish I got a crappy jeep, just when we (Scotland) thought we cleared the "big freeze"... Boom! It starts to snow. Bad times

[LRF4N]

Using my RWD skyline as my daily. No probs in the snow or ice so far. Winter tyres make a huge difference

[JEMAN]

I know what you meen mate, but just think of the SUMMER and the Z becomes a different BEAST

Started snowing heavy here but strangleynot lying too much. And the temps meant to come up over the weekend and rain in my area...plzz wash it all away lol. Thought central scotland was getting away with it too Only what tho.....4-6 weeks before the weather picks up and the winter rubbish goes away(hopefully!)

[rabbitstew]

I actually said to the missus maybe i should have gone for the cheaper option and bought a range rover sport instead of my beemer, but then realised theres only a few days of the year when having a 4x4 would come in handy.

 

Still, its not to late to nip out and get some cheapy 4x4, you can pick some up for a grand. Depends on how desperate you are to get to work in the snow!

Yeh LRF4N I've seen you a few times lurking around GWR, hats down to you still using it under these weather conditions.

And JEMAN I know what you mean, but for the 2weeks of sun we get, if that. I don't even know if its worth keeping my Z in the longer run, sorry to use these disgusting words but... I mite sell her in favour of an all year rounder.

It's crazy over at my work (Falkirk) where folk have actually had to abandon there cars and walk! Mostly your saloons and hatchback types.

Put some winter tyres on it. ya big girl! I live in Switzerland and use my Z all year round. We have real snow here

[LRF4N]

I see a few zeds on GWR but no1 looks let alone waves. Post a pic of your car so I can look out for it. If your keeping it that is

 

I know some people who just hire a 4x4 when snow is forecast

[Chris`I]

Just get winter tyres, job jobbed

[tc350z]

Haha! Can't argue with that planetsufer2

[tc350z]

To be fair mate the times I see your car it's always parked up and never on the move, I'd feel a tad silly waving to an unoccupied car. I've got a standard GM zed with black rota GTR's. I'll try and post some pics as soon as its clear, dry and she's had a wash

[LRF4N]

wasn't referring to you mate lol was just saying the zeds I do see probably aren't of forum members

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

Winter tyres on a zed is better than summer tyres on a range rover! Tyres man! TYRES!

[gangzoom]

+1 Winter tyres, put some on my BMW this year for the first time, was as to get up hills 4x4s on summer tyres struggled with. Plus it gives you a reason to buy a set of lovely 19inch 'summer' alloys

Pretty much as every one else says

 

Get winter tyres, its amazing the difference.

[WhackyWill]

Im selling my X5 having just bought my Zed which I will use throught out the Winter..

[martinmac]

Just had a nice tour of the Lakes to survey the carnage, the was a fair bit of snow on the roads but awd and winter tyres coped very well. The main problem was the amount of branches and trees on the road.
