Re: Calibra snow-mobile
Well my V6 has done well in the snow - yeah had a bit of blackpool with the TC light but found the abs works well, much better than my mrs astra that hasn't got anything.
the main thing is i haven't had any issue's with it -its started every time i have needed it even after leaving it a week, I sometimes get comments of why do you drive that old car? well it was nice to see a 59 plate alfa on the back of an AA truck the other night lol.
Just had to push the post office van - heard his wheels spinning he was in first gear with full revs for 10 mins!

Remeber you have wider tyres now Baz, wide tyres dont work well in snow unless they are on a 4x4 etc

Re: Calibra snow-mobile
I've had great fun in the turbo, 4 wheel drive makes all the difference when it's like this, I have 25 miles to get to work and it's been brilliant all the time except some days it's taken me 1-2 hrs to get there lol
