'85 BRATs 1st snow

[TomRhere]

Yesterday was the 1st time the BRAT has been driven in snow, since I bought it 2 years ago.

 

Really don't want it covered in road salt is main reason for not driving it during the Winter.

 

Anyways, she did pretty good on the 3" of greasy white stuff. Different tire tread would've helped, but she did good. I did need to put it in 4WD though, as she'd spin the fronts going up hills.

 

Caught up to a slower vehicle and thought of passing it, but deciced to wait until the next passing area to do so.

 

Good thing I did, about a 1/2 mile down the road, about 15 Deer ran accross the road in front of the car ahead of me.

 

He almost didn't stop in time, don't think I would've been able to either if I had passed him. That,,,, wouldn't have been pretty....

 

Had a wee bit of fun in the lower parking area when I got to work.

That's certainly pretty. Sounds like you fixed the ignition problem.
