hilux surf in the snow?

[skyhooked]

hi crew

i have a 2.4 surf, and i am taking over to the continent this winter for three weeks - around the ore mountains - snowkiting

it had the new head on it this spring, and since seems to be in great shape

other than a full service, snow chains and undersealant, what other reccomendations would you make for use in the snowy wilds? is there any benefit in extra spotlights, vhf radio, anything mechanical?

any feedback much appreciated

make sure you can get mobile phone reception and it's set up for roaming... and european breakdown cover.

blankets and a shovel?

flask of coffee and some sarnies?

Didn't I hear something funny about France, and flourescent vests...?

Something about spot checks, being able to get it on within 30seconds, and one the spot fines?

Mars bars= high energy food, even fat gits can survive 10 years on one Mars bar!

They tell me girlies tights are great for keeping warm but I suppose that depends on how hard she fights
