Not everyone who owns a classic hot rod is willing to drive it aggressively. Even less common is someone who would drive a 1934 Ford Roadster through asshole-deep snow like they stole it! Check out this guy…
These dudes are from Sweden and they found this horse race track, and decided it was perfect for a winter’s day cruise. It’s hard to tell if he has anything special setup for winter driving tires, but I suspect he’s just a talented rally driver. You can’t see the rear view, but I’m imagining a couple of his buddies on tubes being pulled by a rope attached to the back!
What’s the lesson to be learned here?
If you have a powerful classic car, don’t just garage it and trailer it around. Get out and have some fun, all year ’round!

Ha ha. It´s my car with me driving. It´s a T23 who lives it´s life in Sweden. Winter equipment consists of 6 rallye tires (2 in front and 4 back). Each tire has aroound 500 “ice plugs” that are more than 0.25″ tall. 3000 in total makes snow and ice driving a real pleasure!!
Check another film where there are some still images and also video clips from driving on ice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rf7CVLz9hDE (e.g at around 2 min 50 sec)

Sweet. What kind of an engine setup do you have going on this ’34?

That is so dope. Is this your only rod, or do you have more?

I have a -34 Fordor (Street Rod) as well. But right now I´m focusing on my vintage T23 Fuel Altered dragster. That´s a blast to drive for sure! 🙂
