Its been snowing in Edinburgh for about four days now, and I've not been able to move my '2 for 3 of them. When I did take it out three days ago I took it to a car park and messed around in the snow for a bit, because I'm fairly new to RWD still. I was quite surprised with the grip, it really is a case of once you kick out it is extremely difficult to control at anything above 2MPH. I haven't taken it out since, I don't intend to for some time.

Now to the serious questions. As you can see from the pictures it gonna be a while before I can take it out again. Am I better off starting it let the engine warm up, or just leaving it till I can actually go anywhere?




Additionally there is some snow in the air induction vents at the back? Will this interfere with the engine at all?







Thanks!

Snow in side vents not a problem.

I wouldn't bother starting it until you need it though if it's a really long time you may want to give it a run to charge the battery but this takes a while ticking over in a car park.

Heres one for you all, do you need to clear the snow off the soft top to prevent it stretching it, or is that an urban myth?
