To be honest this is the best way to learn how to drive on snow. Quiet roads and be sensible, then you get the feel of a slide and how to handle it. Well done , great video.
Agree, in my experience, for the most part, cars up to 2000 are pretty good in snow, but a lot comes down to the driver, slow and gentle is the key for most occasions.
Trying to drive my modern AMG in the recent snow and its been totally useless. Even with TC off, crash avoidance off, DCT in manual mode. The computer still keeps trying to take over. Took my sons old Saab 9000 Turbo out in the snow and it was wicked. None of this modern computer control rubbish.
The most Fun I've ever had driving in the snow is when I owned a 1972 Cadillac coupe Deville, massive ruddy car near 2,5 Tons of fun and I did powers slides and donuts in a Empty parking lot in the snow you will truly feel alive when you have 7 feet of hood flying around in the snow.
Despite your somewhat sarcastic [comedic] tone, pretty much everything you said was entirely correct! Now I want to have a go! Only problem is that on my end of the Earth, there's no snow, no water, and my B GT is in bits *:P*
“No other cars available”, drives past dad’s BMW... 😂 (I assume he had to go to work or something) Edit: 100% correct. Although, classic car isn’t the only thing. My C1 has tiny tyres, like your MG and the whole ESC can be turned off so it is pretty good on snow and ice, so long as I’m not a twat 🤗
I'm driving my '93 EG3 Civic everyday. Tiny carbed 1.3 liter. Starts every single day without any hesitation, even at - 25*C. No P/S, no A/C, no ABS nor TCS. Just pure driving fun, taking most of the corners on my way to school sideways. There is nothing to worry about driving in the snow ;)
I went out in the worst in my 1984 Ford Capri 2.0 S, handled everything mother nature could throw at it perfectly, and was a ton of fun when i acted like a plum and did some sideways snow skids. People dont give old cars enough credit, my old girl performed flawlessly. As long as you drive according to the conditions there shouldn't ever be an issue with this type of weather and its pathetic how everything grinds to a halt and everyone panics when it does.
We had just under a foot and I took my 2.5 e36 with a welded diff and 15" skid tyres out, it was epic and there were so many getting stuck where I didn't suffer at all!
Drove to work (~30 miles) in the middle of a Denver snowstorm in an Alfa Spider with all-seasons... was a bit sketchy but nothing that smooth driving wouldn't take care of! I'll get a hardtop plus some snow tires and have at it this year again! Great video!
I drove my 1970 mgb gt home from Scotland to North Yorkshire in the snow mostly on a completely snow covered motorway with no issues, apart from having no heater and lost a wiper arm. Drive to the conditions as you say.
I left my everyday car at home (st Mondeo) and took my 1971 3.5 v8 Capri to work in the snow and loved every minute of it. Never had so much fun going to work. 😂😂😂😂
Very true about the tyres as I had some winter tyres fitted a month or so ago and I found them very impressive... I saw many people with no traction but my car tackled the lot .....
I done this years with my 1973 Jaguar XJ6, No problem at all, The only problem is Heater and wipers but this is common problem on British classic cars, you can not find one with working heater except Rolls Royces and Benteleys, also British carburetor are bad in winter, using some drops on fuel on them before starting helps a better start.
Given the weather You might need a little choke (strangler ) pulled on.In those conditions easy on the gas ,easy on the brakes.If You lock the brakes ,pump them rapidly.Live in upstate NY,just had a foot of wet sticky snow yesterday. But the temp is above freezing today,means a lot of meltGood hydroplaning conditions in the wet.Thanks that we have radial ply tires to make the wet conditons a lot safer..
That's all well and good Adam, but we have a foot of snow here up in Scotland lol, you can hardly walk haha, but anyway in snow like that you are perfectly fine to drive
I've found in a FWD car TC helps tremendously (that and wide tyres, good tyres etc) as i've never felt more in control at any speed. Indeed...to have any fun at speed you need it all turned off but from a safety point of view i've never felt so in control with a wide profile, controlled grip and all that be it up or downhill :). Neat video though you had way more snow than us.
Hi im in my sixties born im the wilds of co durham drove minis ..morris minors.. capris ..imps..all in proper snow and echo all you said in your....folks f.... slow down ...coz modern cars are to powerfull and tyres to wide happy snow driving ...from dave in snowbound Cumbria. .
Trouble is the snow just highlights that people can't drive in normal conditions. They get by with driver aids and conditions saving them.. the only thing people I give a bit of slack is lorry drivers because although you can drive them in the snow the drive tyres are focused so much on economy that they don't offer much in the way of grip.
The TC on my WRX is odd. Always off in the snow. You can still slide a little before it kicks in and attempts to "help" by cutting power in the middle of your steering correction.
Nice video idea. But I always hate it when people bring so much snow into their car. Especially if it is such a nice car. You don't want to make all the carpet wet.
my classic car has an insurance were you are only allowed to drive in the summer(denmark) because the salt on the roads makes the car very prone to rust
I would not take my 1983 Jag out in the snow.. not because it couldn't do it, but because of the road salt and slush getting all over the undercarriage and promoting rust.
I am Brazilian legend in Portuguese please.. I don't speak Inglish please please pleaseeeeee... Bat your video is good Traducton (tradução) (Eu sou brasileiro, legenda em português por favor... Eu não falo inglês por favor por favor por favoooooor Mais seus vídeos são bom)

I like how you continue to make videos no matter what the conditions, much appreciated!

Use to have a Triumph Spitfire as a daily driver, would drive it no matter what the weather conditions were, was great fun!!
Sweet. I daily drove my mk3 spit for 2 years, it was a really good winter car as long as there was no salt.
I almost have the car completed now.
TheLeafySpring awesome stuff mate, spittys are just such fun cars like go karts on the road
it's a very special car indeed
When it starts on a freezing morning: "Hell, yeah, baby! Good morning! Thank you! We're goin' to work!"
All the best from Detroit.
I never drive in the snow,i live in Brazil,should be an interesting experience, especially in a car with rear-wheel drive.

Paul Taylor is it a 4matic?
Sam Spencer doubt it. AMG just don't encourage sideways action in their cars, even with all the electronics turned off.

Lol when he started singing Tokyo drift
Took my 240Z out in half a foot of snow around Abingdon back in 2010. Most fun I’ve ever had on public roads.
I don’t take my cordoba out in the snow but have driven a few older 80’s dodge pickups in the snow both 4x4 and rear wheel drive honestly I enjoy it

My mom drives, a Volvo 240gl. No rust, She drove it in the winther time, when there was snow. It's fun to drive a Classic car in the snow
I like the look on your face as you drive around the lamp post, 100% concentration.
Absolutely love your vids Adam 😂
Keep it up

this has to be the slowest and coolest drift i've ever seen. :D

i drive my 1967 volvo amazon all year round and yeah it works great. i have double su carburators on it so it starts really easily even at like -15 C
Bangers and. Cash
1996 Lexus GS300 with 275's on the rear! No traction control on this car and it's been absolutely awesome in the #snow 😎
SlinkyRich HD was out in my 95 GS last night, brilliant fun

The choke was pulled out.

at 7:11 i lost my shit! Sooo accurate! :D
Your like a low budget clarkson/ top gear 😂
Great video mate keep it and I'm in the process of rebuilding my old meteo
I drive a 1969 Ford F-250 2wd in the snow al you need is chains good tires and a lil weight in the back and they get through anything
People do forget how to drive when it snows
Oh no a bit of snow everyone start driving bad
amcf2000c right? I had to overtake a spanner in a 4x4 in my crappy KA because he was going disgustingly slow 😂
Do Subie with the Suburban Derek same I got a 1995 Defender and had to turn around because of some idiot getting stuck on a slite incline
amcf2000c some people lack sense these days...
Very well said Adam, you should put out a public announcement video!
Driving in the snow looks fun
I got trapped in London at the time this was made lmao
Great counter steering!
Woah, look's fun, great video.

My classic is an old jeep, passed every test including the steep hill :)
Love the jacket 👍
Are you from a rich/posh family? Kinda interesting to see a lad driving vintage cars like that...
Love the videos man!! Keep up the good work!!
Snow everywhere. .wow.
Hi im in my sixties born im the wilds of co durham drove minis ..morris minors.. capris ..imps..all in proper snow and echo all you said in your....folks f.... slow down ...coz modern cars are to powerfull and tyres to wide happy snow driving ...from dave in snowbound Cumbria. .

I want to have a go!!
Fancy a pint mate?
Another great 1 by you Adam ☺

I would’ve love to take my MGB out in the snow but I have only just taken the engine and gearbox out
You definitely pulled that lass. 7:05
Steven Hicken Jr Pedal Steel Guitar for
Make a great second car,tax exempt cheap insurance and no need for mot after may 2018, cool vlog Adam.
this is so true lol its easy to drive in snow in a normal hatchback just let a couple seconds of air out ur tyres
I would strongly suggest some studded Hakkapalitta 5’s
Love these videos 😂
Btw have you ever driven one of those tesco, sainsburys, waitrose delivery vehichles?
GSI Jimbo no
mad skid in da tesco ca park innit
You should've dubbed like an s13 drift car over the shots of you drifting eith the camera on the ground😂
Does it hurt your car driving in snow. Like on the clutch, brakes ....
B A the clutch does a little more work. If anything, the brakes get used a lot less
AdamC3046 oh I pressed the brakes and the car made a horrible noise lol I thought it was bad
In the RS3 it's better with traction control on in the snow. But it's more of a laugh in an empty car park with it off.
The TC on my WRX is odd. Always off in the snow. You can still slide a little before it kicks in and attempts to "help" by cutting power in the middle of your steering correction.
Noah Covell I might be wrong but TC off in the RS3 seemed to be off on snow covered car park. It was letting me give it the full beans.
winter beaters are the best. 106 handbrake turns ftw
It looks like you live in quite a flat place. (On camera). Try it around the Pennines and please do another video 😂
I live on a hill, with a sloped driveway.
6:00 [[Eurobeat Intensifies]]
good video was entertaining keep it up
Ultimately there's a can do attitude and a can't do attitude. Decide which side you're on people!
Nice video idea. But I always hate it when people bring so much snow into their car. Especially if it is such a nice car. You don't want to make all the carpet wet.
A wet carpet is hardly the most damaging result.
@@AdamC3046 Right, keeping all the windows open doesn't help either.
@@y4nnickschmitt Nope it doesnt. A bit of snow won't hurt anything
@@AdamC3046 Ohhhkayy.... I guess I'm to protective of my car than.
Driving in snow is interesting.... If you don't mind going sideways at nearly every corner... LOL!
my classic car has an insurance were you are only allowed to drive in the summer(denmark) because the salt on the roads makes the car very prone to rust
quality video
Initial Adam: 3046th stage
Try that in the cobra
About tome for a new steering wheel I reckon
Nothing wrong with it when actually using it. It just looks funny from that angle.
AdamC3046 fair enough, I put a momo prototipo in my classic mini and it is so much nicer to drive 😊
the concentration on your face haha you should have put some epic music in the background for those 5 mile an hour drifts!
Daniel Clowe that's my normal resting angry face
AdamC3046 ha that's my face when I'm dropping the kids off at the pool =)
drive in snow! my 1970 B has not even been on a wet road for 17 years
Wish I was old enough to drive
Josh983 same
Wheres the cobra adam ?
lizard guy Tucked away
Enjoyed vid btw!
Should have done some drifting in the bmw
After seeing this... you should definitely buy a JDM car
Adam you should make a video on what you do for a living :P
He works at universal classic cars
So I have a 1966 mustang and I’m definitely not driving it in the snow lol
Your loss ;)
my mk1 fiesta has 145/80 12 tyres on
Steering wheel is like a banana
Add a can of ether!
I would not take my 1983 Jag out in the snow.. not because it couldn't do it, but because of the road salt and slush getting all over the undercarriage and promoting rust.
Just washed the car. All is good.
I would take a jag etype or am db5 out and about and drift the hell outta them
You missed a NT in shouldnt
Yes another video
Drift the cobra!
Starter fluid yo... make it easy on yourself
