not what id call time spent pictures... i didnt take my tripod, but there was plenty of 4x4 sideways action in big empty parking lots :)
all in all, there is about 10"-1ft in some areas :D

lol... that rather large donut was the result of sustained 40 or so mph sideways action..... not the fastest ive ever done it... but the night was filled with 60mph 360's too, and reverse J turns in a few empty parking lots.

sadly, the police can give a 'wreckless driving' if they 'catch' you being a hooligan... so i stagger my empty parking lots to only about 15 minutes each one :lol:

5" is more then enough to be a hooligan :) what car are you driving now, Gray? was the Mozda 6 replaced with another one?

Arman... are you saying that as soon as it snows... jackass' ricers wear the snow down to ice in Prague? i'd like to see some pictures of the Lada in the snow once it arrives :)

Still the mazda.. Though Im about to buy a second car as a track car. (In march).

I considered selling the mazda and buying something really nice like a bmw or a vette.. But the option of buying a house in a year or two outweighed the car slightly.

Its still fun in the snow if I turn off the traction control ;)

I'm sooo missing my car and winter :cry: - that was the ONLY reason, why I loved winter and snow :lol: .... I had an OLD (read it slowly, cos it was 23y/o) car, which had engine in the back and RWD :D . it has ONLY 43bhp :lol: but that was enough for some looooong drifting action :wink: ....

but now I'm glad that here in uk is about 5°C and snow is exotic word :mrgreen:

oh trust me... i know all about the fun of FWD cars in the snow :-D my Saab 9000 tubo was amazing in the snow! for a 13 yr. old car at the time... i really concider that the car i learned how to drive in... and have been improving since. a 5 speed FWD+ e-brake... my corner entrance speeds were higher then my jeep; but slower exit speed (well, comparing to a 2 ton 4x4...)
anyway... im nearly 100% sure you wouldn't do this... but hey, the current Ford offerings in trucks are better in almost every way :wink:
