Worst thing about the snow is how some drivers can't seem to cope with it. Travelling on a road with only a dusting, you had one car going at 20mph!! Cars immediately behind were probably too afraid to overtake. So a normally 10 min stretch of road took well over 30 mins

This. Drove home today and Weather was the least dangerous thing on the road. The drivers who are completely have no clue on what to do were more of a threat.
Was funny passing people driving 40-50km/h while I was doing 100-110km/h though. I bet I got a good few "what an idiot, he will kill himself!".

Got the full beams of a lad doing 60kmh on the military road in Dungarvan tonight when I overtook him. Road was perfectly safe only it was snowing lightly.

When it says -2 on the dash what's the real temperature lads?

MetzgerMeister

The real temp is -2 when it says -2 on the dash.

To be honest, I'm not sure about that at all but I would imagine that is taken into consideration and adjustments made to give an accurate reading.

Wind chill factor is a thing that makes what temperature human being feels (ahh, my English is no good), or better - how quickly temperature drops.

Something similar is "feels like" temperature - temperature + humidity + wind chill combined (correct me if I'm wrong).

Just realised I'm finally over 50 posts, here we go......

Can you post a picture and explanation of the badge on the back of that. I've seen them before but no idea what it is about.

It's a Tiburon badge. The Coupe is called the Tiburon in the US and some other markets.

Every days a school day (well it certainly is for me anyway as I'm a teacher).

In Korea the car's called a Tuscani and all KDM models are produced with this badge, also i believe Australian models have this badge but either it's missing the "tuscani" wording or it shows "tiburon" one or the other.

Great shots topdog makes me miss my old 98 Impreza and 92 legacy RS,
I have an Mr2 now and it's no fun in a blizzard :-)

The picture below Jou has been stuck in my mind for the last 24hrs. I had a similar Corolla years back in the same colour and I remember it used to shine up really well. Although I hated it at the time once I sold it I always regretted it so much so that I've said I'd buy one back.

Cheers for reminding me of it, now would someone like to swap me one for a Citroen BX!

Went for a quick spin to Court Mac and back, was a nice day until the sun decided to go home early!

Special Circumstances

You daredevil, incredibly risky behaviour while met Eireann have an orange warning in place. LOL. Nice spot. Must make it down that way this summer.

Timoleague/Court Mac are great spots in the Summer, always buzzing. Same for Kinsale, good driving spots. Tempted to do the Wild Atlantic Way this summer, would be a bit of craic!

Don't, it'll severely pisss you off! Alnost guaranteed to hit a sheep too!. The amount of times I've seen patches of blood on the road where a car went kablam into one. They'd make bits of a bumper.

I'd probably just end up doing Cork to galway or something, unless I could get a load of lads to do it as well, sure we'll just avoid the sheep :pac:

Do the atlantic drive around Achill though. Views are spectacular on a fine day. At a few points you get your "test your brakes now" signs. You go up to some heights, the road only meters from the cliff edge with nothing stopping you from going off the cliff and dropping 100's of feet. Think that part is called minaun cliffs or something

Hachiko

Wild Atlantic way looks great, I am a kerry man and did the ring and all that, but that was when we had semi decent roads.

Now the wild atlantic way would be best done in a tractor, some going over 2.5k odd km. Would I do it in my own car, no way jose.

Here we see the saab in it's natural environment - the garage, as the person attempts to perform a sump drop, the car arches up in an aggressive stance, note how it's bonnet is raised, this is a natural defence move, by showing it's engine most people are afraid to do any work at all on them :pac:
