4.8iS donuts in the snow
 

That snow it just a bit too thick, I bet you car really toss it around in 1-2 inches.

My 4.6 will see its first Minnesota winter soon. Every new car I buy I always like to get it in an open area and test the handling limits on snow.

What some men call donuts, I call driver education. :D

Sorry to hijack the thread Terminator, BTW cool vid....brrrr I hate winter!

epdarks, will be the first winter for my 4.6 too, what are you planning to do for tires? I have a second set of 20'' rims that I was planning on getting winter tires for but man they are expensive to get. you planning the same?

I have Pirelli snow and ice run flats on the stock 87s. Not a lot of tread left, I will try them and go from there.

Debating buying a second set of 20" to put my Toyos on for summer. I always prefer a dedicated winter tire set, but 87s are rare and expensive.

Thanks ep. When I bought mine it had replica chrome 87's on it that are all corroded and ended up finding a mint set of oem 87's so I have the crappy rims just now have to pick up the tires. Again, not cheap for the 20's but will likely bite the bullet and get them as my wife will freak if she doesn't have winter tires and I do:). If anyone knows where to pick up winter 20's at a good price Im all ears.

Winter is my favorite time of year. Driving in the snow is one of my passions. When I bought my X5 earlier this year thats all I could think off is how much fun I will have this coming winter. Going to be awesome.

Yea same here. I love putting the snow shoes on in early December and waitin for that first snow fall. 09 and 10 were awesome snow years. 2011 was a HUGE disappointment. Only 3 inches of snow TOTAL. It BLEW!

that video was taken somewhere in europe, not in russia, but when i was in russia, the local requirement was to have winter shoes as of Oct 1 until March 31, or something like that... that much snow is normal on the side streets in moscow and just about anywhere outside of city limits (I had a 41 km radius restriction from kremlin, so i could not venture too deep into a countryside). I never had a chance to try out the 20" summer tires in that snow, but the 18" winter setup in style 74 with pirelli scorpions was doing fine...

on the other hand, about 20-25 years ago, when i was in mutha russia, i had a chance to witness a 6x6 with inflatable/deflatable tires (with an individual airpump) personnel truck venture off road into a 6 foot deep snow... The snow was to the window rim on a huge military truck and I thought for sure we were gonna get stuck there until the spring in late May, where our frozen bodies, mine and the driver, would have been found, hugging each other... The dude dropped the air pressure in the tires, and was making the donuts in that deep snow with a huge truck... back then they did not have video equipment to record this for the history, so it is reflected just in my memory... lol...

all these russian videos off youtube... you must know how to read russian now?

And by the way I ordered the usb obd cable with the software for almost 40$ from the ebay romainian, so it should be here by the end of October than i will need some basic coding help if you dont mind. thanks

Um Term is Russian, or russian-ish, lol.

Term, do you need to use VMware to run NCS? Thanks. I gotta get that cold monitoring off. I think that is what kills the Angel Eye Leds.
