30" of snow + 91 Syncro Westy w/ studded Nokian C2 tyres = a huge smile on my face:) Awesome vehicle! dylan Snow Central, NY -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of G.M.Bulley Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 2:24 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: Re: Snowstorm hits the Mid-Atlantic I don't know about the rest of the Vanagons, maybe you got a special one, Kim. Mine (1982 Westfalia, with 2056 cc air-cooled) is perfectly happy to spin the tires when even the slightest spritzing of snow is in effect. Far unlike our 1976 bus, which would climb moderate grades in the snow, our Vanagon can't climb a speed bump, even with M/S tires. From Snowy DC, G.
