Give us a run down on ur experiences with it, or what u rekon it would be like, haha.

Winters coming up, and its getting cold, don't think its gonna snow in brissy this yr, although it seems to get colder each yr, and 10 yrs ago, i never used to see frozen mildrew on my dad's commodore, but now do see the ice on the roof.

so what u think of it, besides being cold and 'slick' Hehe.

this is about as close as i have been

I went up the gravel Alpine Way over the Snowy Mountains, in the 60s in a splitty when there was a bit of snow and mush on the roads. It never looked like we had wished that we had chains, but with snow you never know what's around the next corner. We had no problems. The heater only just kept us warm.

Interestingly enough that reminds me that on that trip we camped near the beach at Mallacoota and it was there that for the first and only time in my life I heard, while half asleep in a waking dream, the Music of the Spheres. It was fabulous and as I listened to it I knew that I had never heard that piece of music before. Had I been able to write music I may probably have composed one of the worlds great melodies, but alas and alack it was not to be.

Here's Richard Holzl's old yellow beetle in the snow....

Drugs!! Who?? Me?? Never!!

Supergrass. Zombiegrass. Lebanese Blonde. Durban Poison. Brogo Blue. Accapulco Gold. Afghani Black. What're they?? Never heard of them.

Actually we had tied a few on the previous night, but that happened as I was waking in the morning. Be that as it may. I have heard the Music of the Spheres. Once.

I know this isn't strictly off-road but my dad only passed his driving test in England back in the Fifties as it was so cold one winter most water cooled cars wouldn't work so he managed his test in a beetle! Also I only ever got my buggy out over there in the snow and it was great fun (mind you I only had it for about a year and half all up before I wrecked it!) when I got to Oz I thought driving on sand would be pretty similar-WRONG! On snow good traction but no steering.
