Not all that retro as im cut off from mine by 3ft snow drifts up in the mountains but my dailys are looking a little snowy.

Image

This say bog off im not going anywhere as soon as you put it in drive the wheels start spinning with no movement.

This on the other hand has been excellent even pulling fairly big heavy moderns up reasonably steep hills. Low range box and difflocks seem to be the anwser.

Well, here's me in the works car-park today.
Really nice to get a first time start first turn of the key ( as usual- mostly ) with the colleagues around.
And then lending out the de-icer and scraper.

Awesome pics! :D
I would happily trade some of that snow for a few of our 35+ degree days we're having here! I do miss the snow! :bluewave:
