    Hi there chaps,

    Icy north winds are gone. The sun is shining. Perfect day for a blast through the Jura.

    Drift mode. Hard dampers (DSC). ESC off. -4 degree. Good power delivery.

     

    Have fun on the road and take care 😎

    Nice one Frenk, but do you drive on the snow like this little GR Yaris?..



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    I reckon that the Yaris driver has done that a few times before, super confident steering inputs.

    This is brilliant! Good man! 🤘

    I’d love to test this with my RS, but alas, the roads here around Basel are cleaned way too quickly or are completely barred. And if you try it on a snow covered deserted parking place some moron will surely call the police within 5 minutes 🤣

    The only hope I have is to book a safety drive day on snow with the Swiss Touring Club. I did one two decades ago. However, it is expensive, you’ve got always a smart-arse instructor on the walky-talky and to hoon your car is strictly forbidden 🤣🤣🤣

    I am a big fan of Carol. Sometimes I have to replay the weather to actually see why the weather is going to be. It’s like I was there but I wasn’t listening.😁

    The USA, Canada are under a massive blanket of snow and could potentially be heading this way
