Looking foreward to the return of Snow ???

mountai

Just wondered.!!. A couple of years ago (when I was a Big Shot!!!!!), I got myself a Merc CLK for my daily car. All the gizmos, automatic,leather etc. During the Snow it spent 2 weeks parked up outside the house as it would"nt pull the skin off a rice pudding , would"nt even get to the top of the road --- Useless heap!!!!!!
They say "Its an ill wind". This gave me the excuse to use my Classic JBA Falcon, and did I enjoy it!!!!.Some Queer looks from people, "Whats that Eejit doing out on the road in that thing"!!!!.Handled like a dream (even with rear wheel drive) mind you ---- I kept the hood up!!!!!.

I have a Subaru Vivio 0.7 ltr engine, It's brilliant in the snow, it really light and with narrow tires easy to get back in control. I've zipped up hills that most others have abandoned.
Our saab has stayed at home for weeks now.

Are the Vivios permanent 4WD or is that only the Justy?

catbear

No, my Vivio is just FWD and it's a long time since I've seen a 4WD Justy. Brilliant small cars.
