Snow Is Slippery

[CEF11E]

you are aksing for trouble taking the gtr to the snow. we went in a TT forister and it was still a bit sketchy. while we were driving i was thinking about how dangerous it would have neeb in my skyline with the mechanical 2 way.

there were a few cars nearly coming off the road.

just hire a commondore or a little 4wd. it will be cheaper than something happening to the gtr.

cheers

i went up to lake mountain going on a month ago.. wasn't too snowy but before i got to the gate i wasn't losing traction at all and not driving ultra slow.. depends how snowy it is and just be careful for the black ice

I went to Hotham for the first time at the bebining of September and arrived in a full blizzard. It is an intersting road to drive and certainly one to be carefull on. I was driving a M35 Stagea and I just kept the car in Syncro and Snow mode which locks the front rear split and dulls the throttle response.

It is a tricky road to drive.

Watch out next year for a new chain made of cloth. Sounds wierd but I know the importer and he is currently getting the product approved. It is great because there is no metal to damage your car. I can say exactly how it works but it is basically a cloth that goes over the wheel. It is approved by all the European countries under their Chains standards requirements. Interestingly enough there is no Australian standard to pass.

Have fun at Hotham skiing.....
