Driving in snow

Bad weather here in Helsinki today.

Here are couple of videos:






No problem driving with X3 and studded winter tyres (Nokian).

Some day I will have some fun on snow and try to video it...

I like the colour of your car on the snow; like a cherry on a cake

Winter is fading away here... so some I attach here memories from the past mild winter:

Driving on ice with Juha Kankkunen and Tommi Mäkinen, both world champions in rallye.

In this they do not drive with X3, but they do have X3s in that Winter Driving Experience:
