Thu, 11 August 2005 21:19 -gt- wrote on Thu, 11 August 2005 21:39 Yeah, i heard today the season wasn't that great over there, but i've had in my head that they'd had an early start to the season and heaps of snow??? Maybe i got that from the websites trying to sell me a holiday hehe, yeah, before we went over, they were saying on the sites that there had been a good and early start to the season, but there was still heaps of icy patches, hardly any full snow on the main runs Quote: Also, got a hire car Hoping for a toyota! Thinking probably echo, or corolla if we're lucky (part of a package deal) BUT, it includes snow chains, and pretty sure its a manual + snow = FUN!! we got a previa = tarago, fwd in a 1800 or something kg car is very hard to get traction going up the hill from a stop or in the ice covered carpark we didnt have chains on though Quote: What about car use/care in sub-zero temps? Driving in ice/snow? I'll take it easy, and will have the wife beside me so will hit the fun-limiter pretty early... um, not sure about maintenance, but we did get a layer of ice on the windscreen one morning - dont pour water on it, cos that will just stick the wipers but yeah, you have to be pretty smooth in movements when you're driving up or down the mountains, even when there's no snow/ice on the roads! and dont worry about getting cold up on the mountain, if you're properly prepared you'll be toasty warm unless it gets really windy. you'll probably get colder down in town!
