jim Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 A snow button.... does it snow in Japan? Is the Pope a catholic? Hokkaido (the northenmost island of Japan) gets much more snow than we do. The winter Olympics were held in Sapporo in 1972 and in 1998, they were held in Nagano, a city to the north of Tokyo on the main island of Honshu. See this link for typical weather stats for Sapporo. http://www.japaneselifestyle.com.au/travel/sapporo_weather.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickya Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Blemin eck we got abou 5 inches of snow, didnt even bother trying to get the BM up my driveway slope, impossible without 4WD! So borrowed the old mans, old merc, the dam things a work horse, literally ploughed its away all the way to work skidding & squirming on all b roads!! (ps must be true about getting wiser with age, the clever bugg$r has parked his car on the main road last night & not down our sloping road/drive)!

sl114 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 loads here about 10cms worth, im not going to work so working from home and taking the dog out for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 you could always switch the snow button switch............. that might help......... Snow button? JDM + Tiptronic Gearbox + Snow Button = Lower torque & no sideways sliding. Love it, works a treat with decent tyres & no problems yet. Really? Is that standard on the JDM Tiptronic?

Sarnie Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Plenty here: Got to leave for work in a bit, pretty worried about smashing my zed up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 What a bunch of fannys! Heard on Radio one that you shouldn't go out unless in a 4x4. That's just a trickle of snow! We have more up here but it's not bad for this area. Still wouldn't be taking the Zed out though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mini Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well, I took the zed out this morning (had no choice) and have eventually arrived in the office!!! The journey was slooooow to say the least, with the only tricky bit tryng to get into the office car park! It was one of those delicate crab crawl manouvers trying not to slam into the side of the building! Glad I bought a spare pair of under pants with me Still gotta get home yet and the forecast is due to get worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Still on the cards but me and the Mrs have been sick for most of the last 6 weeks so life has been on hold. And every day I can keep the Zed I will... gives me more time to talk up the budget for the replacement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letank87 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Had about 6 inches of snow where I live. Had no choice but to drive the zed to work as the Qashqai I had arranged to take home had a puncture, typical! I drove about 30 miles, mixture of M1 and country lanes, had a few scary moments going up hill (sideways at one point), praying I wouldn't kerb my wheels, but got here fine in the end! Bout time I put my low mu driver training to some good use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morg Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Looked out my bed this morning to be greeted by a ....go back to bed vision, so i did just that (after phone call to work to say i'd be working from home ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 My Zed's in the driveway and I'm working from home today. Don't fancy the idea of some incompetent to$$er driving into me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
