Forget the M550d and Highgate special edition, these are the BMW and MINI products the
Car Enthusiast team plan on rocking this week. Dubbed the Snow Pacer and Snow Rocker these plastic machines are much more likely to see some traction in the snowy weather predicted for the weekend than their petrol (or diesel) powered counterparts (oh, ok, the M550d has four-wheel drive).
We assume the kids get the cool looking BMW Snow Pacer as only a child's legs would be able to bend in such a way so as to retain BMW's rear-drive setup. Featuring suspension for the steering axle, an integrated horn and rustproof runners the Snow Pacer is priced at £75.00 and is available from all BMW dealers or online at
www.bmw-shop.com.
Unsurprisingly, with a price tag of £67.00, the MINI Snow Rocker is cheaper than its BMW counterpart but promises the same sort of fun. Constructed entirely from polyethylene the Snow Rocker features a handle, somewhere to plonk your backside and little else besides... perfect. The Snow Rocker is available from all MINI dealerships and online at
www.mini.com/shop.
See you on the piste!
