Hi.

I thought maybe perhaps you were curious about how it was like to drive on a Norwegian motorway.
Well, from this film you will learn:

1: We do not always drive on snow.
2: Why we need Freelanders on our motorways.
3: We in fact need French map-readers to get where we are supposed to.
4: In the end, approaching our destination, there is always someone in front of you that slows you down and causes traffic-jam.

Well. anyway, here you see what our motorways are like.

.....and our motorways in the winter. Typical traffic

I have looked over all three videos, and i'm sure he had his ABS switched off and the DSC was on

Good video's though you wouldn't get me in a car on snow at those speeds, unless they was taking me to the top of the hill to snowboard down  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

What is wrong withs skies? I feel a lot safer driving down a hill with skies than snowboard.
Give me skies, and I will ski down any hill. Give me snowboard, and i will just st down at the top of the hill.

I know, because i friend of mine (who is almost as good on skies as I am) tries snowboard. I would estimate his positions in upright position 15%. On the ground..... 85%.

That convinced me: Always keeps my skies on.


Then again, there is no hill steep enough to scare me from skiing down. I just turn my ABS on.  2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

Then you would not be able to wear the lovely Skiing outfits you skiers wear



Unlike us Snowboarders

Well, our alpine skiers YES, but not our snowboarders NO.

Guess I was born too late.


On the other hand. The snowboarders has no chance in to follow my speed down a real steep slope.

I know, because I have raced a snowboarder, and he was far, far behind me.

I can do a 150 kms/h on skies (fairly enough: a few years back)
. Havent seen any snowboarders do that. But I havent seen many snowboarders my age either. 2008 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Automatic, Caspian Blue, Alpaca, Moon roof, Exclusive pack.

I have to admit i has seen lots of snowboard/ski movies and there are slopes and mountains i see people go down that look near vertical

At your speed you would defiantly leave me behind,

We don't get enough snow here to geton the slopes as much as i would like too, I hate the indoor ones, there too small and too overcrowed Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
