Exotics in the snow

We had some snow blizzards last week in London, i spotted a few brave souls driving the following on the icy roads:
Ferrari 360 Modena
Ferrari 456 GT
Lamborghini Murcielago

The Murci is AWD but the guy still looked like he was bricking it!

I wonder how many got home...

Re: Exotics in the snow

first of all, how did the ferrari's make it. all that power going to the rear wheels, my friends mom has a hard enough time with a rx-8 in the snow.

second, if i owned a ferrari, or lambo, i would never let a snow flake touch my car. i wouldnt even let a drop of rain touch my car. those are some brave souls!

It was pretty sudden. I came out of work, no snow. 5 minutes later, it looked like Alaska

Yeah, in Columbus I've only seen a Z8, diablo, and 550 maranello in about 2 years time.
