Is that a GoPro I see mounted on the dash? :lol:

Yep, But the videos didnt turn out very good. Rained all day so had to have the wipers on.

And some fool forgot the water proof gopro camera box :whistling:

thats nice and tastefully done bud well done.

how did you find the tyres in the snow? i have the same tread pattern but i'm not pleased with them in the snow, mud they dig well and grip good but the best tyres i've had for snow have been insa turbo saharas. what make are yours?

 

also the snorkel i shouldnt worry about rain at all as you have found out :D they have drain downs built into the head, very clever but simple design :D

what you do need to worry about tho (bit late now as its come and gone for you lot!) is snow well driving in snow it compacts up in the head, melts and fills the filter box lol i just turned my head 180 degree to face backwards and its fine.

And after driving a mates D2 last night my steering was slacker than a slack thing  :whistling:

 

So fitted a new steering damper

Car as been faultless and a pleasure to drive. Remap as made a massive difference to towing the van and the new steering damper
