VR6C 0 Posted December 19, 2009 Coming on a treat Si. Agree your letting it down with the dodgy pics tho mate. Ive got some 5mm eibach spacers if you want em, looks like the rears could do with pushing out a touch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coullstar 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Nice part of the country although I think you'll need a bit of luck to get up there at the moment. The A9 was shut yesterday I think and to get up to Loch Tay its not too easy. Which end of the loch is it and what way are you heading in? Never used snow chains before but I think they should only ever be used in extreme conditions. I would take a shovel and some carpet strips as a minimum. Easiest way is maybe up to Perth, up the A9 then head in via Kenmore / Aberdeldy but then the road from Kenmore to Killin is probably quite bad at the moment. -17C in Killin last night and we havent seen temps above freezing for about 5-6days now. http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/7da ... =aberfeldy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marmite monster 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Sounds like a challenge! er we are staying at the boat house http://www.lochtay-vacations.co.uk/index.htm was going to get some snow chains on the way up. whats the deal with the carpet strips? how long should i make them? what are the chances of getting the corrado to the loch then? oh dear bit worried now :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aide 0 Posted December 29, 2009 i've only ever been in a car when snow chains are used on compressed snow/ ice/ slush on roads and tracks not on drifting snow, but sure they'd be a good investment, you can only crawl in them - like max 20-30mph or something - and they make a racket!

coullstar 0 Posted December 29, 2009 Its only been localised snow so you should be ok. Its on the Killin end so I would come of the A90 at Stirling and head up by Doune & Callander. There has been plenty of warning and the roads you will be on are A roads so they should be in decent condition. I really hope you do get up as its a lovely area. Just bring some warm clothes!!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
