Poor MINIs. No snow tires, no motoring.






What a minute. What's that!?





All 4 makes short work of the snow. No hesitation, no drama, all very confident inspiring. Feel the front tires start to slip, immediately feel the rear tires compensate, and go about your day. I've driven these cars in Texas up and down dirt paths, up hills, down hills, you know- all the stuff you more than likely wil never encounter. Now after driving in the snow, it's clear this MINI has its place. That's to fulfill your motor craving with days like this. I suppose being able to carry a family with no comfort issues is a plus too. That and making ALL their faces turn purple when you deiced to zip down the back road!

Now how about some glamor shots for the triumphant snow king.

Looks like Snow King got to stay in a garage during the snow.

With summer tires and all the hills around here driving my MINI was not an option. Then again it was mostly ice where they "plowed" Couple that with less than experienced drivers around here it's a safe bet my R56 stays put.

I was born in Wisconsin, I've been a seen my fair share of snow . This R60 trumps anything I've driven in these conditions. Just as long you add the fun factor in there.
