Thumbs up snow drive

just been out for a ride in the snow...... this car is fantastic!! the DSTC earnt its money tonight, 100% grip 100% of the time, i have a renault laguna 1.9dci too & that thing as been snaking all over the place


the S60 is the best thing ive ever driven..., i am however getting the steering whine when at full lock though, check the fluids tommorow.

bog standard all weather tyres.....

and even though its a large turbocharged engine producing its power high in the rev range, im amazed at how well this thing pulls @ 1.500rpm in 5th gear, turbo lag isnt really an issue unless your trying to number crunch & race with silly ppl
