Drifting in fresh SNOW - VIDEO!!

Well, I couldn't find any videos, so decided to make on myself. Car was clean when I pulled out of the garage, shoveled 2 lines down the driveway and let 'er rip. We had ~30cm's (~1 foot) of snow to play in. Problem was the John Deere plows were pi$$ed at me as I was holding them up...

Hope the link works..

Enjoy!

That was awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: That's the one thing I love about my 6MT AWD, when we get a ton of snow and you can wip the ass end around if you treat it right.

Good video!!

It is fun driving in snow with the SH-AWD. Sometimes I even turn the VSA off if I feel like having some fun. Even with the VSA off, the car is still pretty planted to the ground.

Where was this? Filmed recently? Most of the snow around here has become pretty hard from the freezing temps.

@Aman - 30 mins North west of Tonroto.. we had way more snow than the 'large storm of the century' they called for 4 days later.

@777 - I couldn't even find anyone to hold the damn camera.. Seriously!! I had to prop it up on the snow covered concrete post foundation.. It's tons of fun just making the car dance with total control. best part is summer time u can do the same with the 6MT..

Aman, just find the supercentre parking lots at night before they're plowed. but before u do, take a picture when it's cleared so you know of any foreign objects such as curbs!!

@ Ant$.. VSA? I'll pull the fuse in the summer when I can find it!! While the VSA on this car is very decent, and provides quite a bit of 'leeway' it won't let you get it too far out of control unless it's off. All the reason to have the winter rims with the TMPS!!
