But in such instances, rather than panic, we’d be better off taking a page out of our European neighbours’ (for now) book. Scandinavia doesn’t bat an eyelid when it snows, while the Alps all but ignores it.
Take Italian Francesco Guerrini, for example. The proud owner of a modified Triumph 675 Street Triple-powered Piaggio Ape, when faced with snow in his native Northern Italy he adapts, adding a set of knobbly tyres and going snow drifting. Bravo, Francesco. Bravo.
Here he is in his mental little three-wheeler at the Livigno ice track in Italy. Making 106hp at the crank, the odd little machine isn’t to be sniffed at, even if it does look like the love child of a rickshaw and a beach buggy. Oh, and did we mention it has a Martini livery and the grille from a Delta Integrale?
The little Ape is proof that anything can go sideways if you try hard enough…
Welcome to Goodwood Elevenses, a mid-morning helping of motoring-related amusement to help break up your day.
