Cool Snow Vid...

I was sent this video today. Great WRX 'in the snow' video. Listen for the BOV, and note the HID headlights and foglights.

While I wait the projected 3 minutes to download this here at home, I thought I'd mention to all those with a slowdem that it is 16.1mb in size. I'll let you know if it is worth your wait.

Mike, is this one different from the other WRX video with the Altima and the Camaro?

I sure hope that doesn't happen to me when I shoot my video of my SVX in the snow

to do this,in your svx in the snow. you have to be stoped, turn your wheel in either direction untill you get to the point where you cant turn it anymore. put it in 1'st gear, and hit the gas, it'll start catching and once it does. whooooooo hoooooo!!! make sure you turn your wheel all the way,or else it'll start doing what that impreza does, and that looks boring. but if you do it right, you'll be doing somethin similar to what the typhoon is doing in that link i posted.

Nice Video

Great Video Mike!!

I still like the SVX one better, the one in the snow that you shot.

By the way, can SVX do those donats? I am just wondering, since it is pretty hard to keep SVX at such high RPM. Oh may be not............ he he, i am not from the snowy part of US, so have no experience in that.

Fortunately that was only surface ice. A couple weeks later it was solid ice and even more fun!!

If the conditions are correct this year I will go again but this time bring the camcorder.
