Driving on snow

[JohnHeagney]

This morning was the first time driving on snow with ice underneath at times, having become used to me “old” “Proper” Defender I am really delighted at how good the Grenadier is on the white stuff. I have BFG AT KO2’s on both vehicles, good tyres.
Up a snow covered bank, very sure footed and braking where on the Defender it’s sure to lock up, the Grenadier stops in a remarkably short space even with ice under the snow.
This bodes well and even playing with it to make it slip, it is very well behaved!

We had a dusting this morning, didn’t slip at all. We’ll see what the rest of the winter brings…

Cornwall had a dusting, it went. Doubt we'll get more

Ah, life in the tropics.

First driving in snow today. We have had a fair dusting in Derbyshire and had to go up a fairly steep and very slippery hill. Off road mode was used for the sake of getting to press the button but it was no real challenge for the Grenadier!

If only the heater worked properly.
