Blacks vouchers. A bonus.

[RichieT]

So I go and purchase a Subaru XV to get me out climbing on the hills in winter. I thought this would be the best choice for snow and frost as Subaru have a pedigree when it comes to 4 wheel drive / AWD performance cars.

 

A big smile on my face as i pick up my new car and they go and tell me that I have £250 of vouchers to spend in blacks outdoor clothing. BONUS. Love Subaru already.

Oh nice a well planned choice of car around. Oh and I'd imagine you will have as much fun driving in the snow as much as your climbing ;-)

[RichieT]

I'm hoping that it ends up that wahhhyyyyyy.  ;)

[Gambit]

Video evidence is a must ;-)

I was on about the driving there and bit of drifting fun :D 

[RichieT]

lol. The gopro usually comes along with me so if Helicopters are involved I'm sure it will be posted. 

[majik_thighs]

Or even pics of the new boy!..............not many of your kind on here so lets see the XV :D

[Dogconker]

You mean you'd get airlifted and leave the XV behind [emoji5]️

Here's hoping for loads of snow to play in [emoji3]

Well as promised, Subaru have come up with £250 of vouchers for Blacks outdoors store. I'll be heading to Glasgow tomorrow for some new winter climbing kit. Thanks Subaru / Blacks.

hi RichieT

great choice or car there lol

 

that one of the reasons I got this car, I have started walking and hiking this year and this deffo looked the best choice of car with Subaru's record

 

also looking forward to some snow to play in haha

 

video of xv in the snow would be great and a quick review of how it performed.

you on standard tyres or upgraded to winter ones?

 

you will probably get snow up there before us down here in Yorkshire...

[Dogconker]

Having looked at the reviews I've not looked further into specific tires for winter, these come out pretty good. Certainly this morning on the ice we had I couldn't get any loss of traction even though the Ford Focus in front was sliding all over. I'd certainly agree on the choice of car.

Should be noted though that we are probably the entire XV ownership on this forum bar mate a couple of more quiet owners. [emoji39]
