exactly the same mate..really sunny but fook me its cold.

Scoob didn't want to start at all..then it chirped into life, but the gearbox and diff oils are so cold that even in neutral it was moving forwards. Put the handbrake on to stop it and it stalled. Now it won't restart as it is locked in gear! Have to wait until it warms up again now....

Evo's fine. :mrgreen:

Power steering feels a bit hard first miles, but all the rest works fine :)

That is a major plus point about the Evo, the tolerances are so bad that even when the mechanical items freeze, it doesn't seize up :lol:

We at least prefer precision on the road rather than :blahblah: precision mechanically and then slide nose first into a snow wall like a fcuking beginner. :lol:

You're happy to contradict me, but only if you got the guts to come and prove the superiority of your scoob on snow. :mrgreen:

Rally days I have been on use EVO's for the beginner Groups because they are computer controlled. When you have mastered rallying and are ready for the next level (i.e. take the computers out and rely on ability) they put you in the Scoobys. :lol:

By the way guys, I called three tyre places today about winter tyres. Apparently all brands are sold out and on back order until Mid March!! As soon as I mentioned Winter Tyre they practically laughed at me. They said the internet places will take your order but have no stock as they use the same suppliers. Gutted - wanted to have some fun in the scoob with Grip!
