Rob.L 1,090 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 #42 Lizzie, Perhaps if you knew someone who lives close by and has a 4WD, an Audi for example, you could use that instead. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

poohbear 1,360 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The secret of snow driving is knowing when to crawl just touching the clutch.And when to go for it with high revs and aim for a snow free patch a few feet away. Reversing out of my sloping drive is achieved by the 'Go for it' method. Make sure nothing else on the road and then give it some honky until your rear wheels hit a track left by a passing bus.....Works for me. Mind you I still miss my Land Rover. The ideal of course is clear the snow...unfortunately out of the question at my age with my old lungs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I had a Land Rover, but as with everything else, me ex got it. Good in snow, poor on ice, but It had FWH which were a Godsend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I had a Suburu station wagon when I lived down under, great in snow, great in mud, good all around 4wd car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 My Suburu in 1984, not just a snow covered hwy, but unsealed too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TBI 2,351 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 All this talk of Land Rovers, fwds etc. Try a motorcycle, one wheel drive, at the back. Gives your rectal muscles a work-out. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,109 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I can think of a better way of exercising my rectal muscles thank you !!!!! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 In Australia, yes Mick, they do in New Zealand too and Fiji, Japan, most of Africa too. There's still a lot of countries around the world who drive on the left. Seems the US did at one time too, why they standardized driving on the right I cannot find out. All stage coaches were driven on the left side of the road, highly practical when you consider most folks are right handed, so you don't want your mate riding shotgun on your right...LOL. If you look at early American cars, they were either right hand drive, so obviously driven on the left side of the road, or centre steering wheel, wonder if that was when news went out they were changing over????? Seems old Henry may have been responsible for left hand drive cars with his mass produced model "T" car. Lets see if Eric can shed some light on the subject. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Basfordred, try driving a tractor along a hill, makes the butt pucker up a bit at times!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,109 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I used to work on a caravan site and drove an old Fordson with gang mowers behind. Awful. ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I use a rough cut mower in my fields, termed a "brush hog" and I get nervous along hill sides, up the steeper stretches I reverse up and drive down. My tractor doesn't have ROPS, so a roll over would be fatal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mercurydancer 1,104 Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Up here in Teesside it is wet and cold, no snow. The snow just bounces off the pollution and the nuclear power station at hartlepool keeps us all warm. Ok we do glow in the dark, but we dont have any snow. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
