That MINI is not stuck. This much snow never stopped me;

Most Virginians don't have dedicated snow tires as they can usually get by with all seasons. I'm afraid there was too much snow for those types of tires to handle down there in this storm. I hope nobody slid into her beautiful EB Mini.

 

this is a dusting of a couple inches with all season conti's

after another 5 inches, we swap-out the Blizzak WS-60's

 

Nice hollies jimmy

thanks, lotsie

the only way to fly!

 

So I came across an article about the snow storm along the east coast ( me living in central Pa saw 1 inch). Anyways, the main picture for the article has a woman standing next to her stranded EB MINI. Is this anyone on NAM? Here is the article.

oh no! Turning off the DSC does wonders... took a spin around the circle in front of my house today the snow varied between 4 and 8 inches got stuck in the deep snow for a second, but a quick reverse and back into 1st I was on my way again. The vehicle did much, much better than I thought it would.

Ha! the MINI looks so small compared to the SUV in the foreground!

I can actually get by with Azenis all year round here. If it snowed like that, I'd just stay home.

 

Snow can ruin your day, but so far I don't see any body damage, that's always encouraging. It is WINTER!

 

I don't think this is one of our members, but if she is I don't envy her the time out in the weather like that. Brrrrrrrr!

 

Threads merged since they started with the same story and same MINI in the snow.

 

Wow guess I can't complain about last nights 56 degree climate.

 

Just thought of sharing some pics of my mini after the snow storm here in New York and the rest of the east coast....

 

So far my MINI has handled like a champ with the snow that we have had. Although it hasn't been anything over 4 inches but still.

man...crazy... my minis barely seen rain let alone snow! happy i live in san diego... i love the snow but i like it when visiting it is convenient and fun...

 

My car this morning:

 

There was too much snow on the Cape for the MINI period. I took the Subaru to work this morning and have to say that even snow tires would have stranded the MINI this morning as it sits too low. The tires on the Suby are all seasons and it was just fine.

 

MINI had its first day in the snow, we had nearly 2 feet fall plus the drifts, at one point only the area above the door handle and below the belt line was visible. Dug out and went for a short spin, handled better than my SUV (2WD).

 

My MINI during the height of the snow...can you guess which model? (If you look at my signature - You cheated!)

 

I found the LOGo the morning after shots!

 

This is from the drive down the mountain from the Arizona Snow Bowl. (I'm in the market for a new bumper)

 

Can't remember if I posted this one on this thread:



Ever notice how the rear wipers end up looking like a mean face?
