OK ... very little snow here and we only had a few spare minutes on our way but still managed to record a bit. Would have liked to try something more exciting but avoided due to inexperience with snow and shortage of time Laughing




The incline was grass covered with snow. First attempt to climb was in high range and very quickly realised it wasn't getting anywhere. Backed up, put in low range and Thumbs Up Didn't even have to turn the DSC off.

Also had the pleasure to try it on a few somewhat steep and untreated roads and a car park with compacted snow and ice. Mercs and BMWs had their wheels spinning but the RRS just started off every time as if on dry tarmac, even with a heavy foot in high range. ABS was kicking in seemingly unnecessarily on those surfaces. Didn't need any special terrain response settings there. I do have Vredestein Wintrac 4 Xtremes on 19" wheels though which could have compensated for any incompetence.


Cheers man, that was a nice little taster.

This was taken last year, on normal m+s tyres, and in a freelander 2 but still fun drive for a nip to the doggy hairdressers Laughing

Thanks just a little bit of photoshop work, mainly on the colours. The snow/lighting etc is all in camera (not fake)

Didn't need any special settings for this one, just normal road mode (have winter tyres though):

Did a bit of drifting in the snow too and felt in control. Couldn't film it as I was on my own.

Had to turn DSC off to climb here:

Find a snow covered steep hill and see how well the sport climbs it, oh and watch the rabbit. Laughing then see how well the hill decent works on the way back down. Great piece of kit. Thumbs Up
