funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 How are the Starlets of the world coping with the freezing weather? Anyone been out for some fun? Had a few moments this morning when my LSD kicked in and dragged me about in the snow, didn't enjoy that! Post some pics of your Starlet in the snow! Quote
Cammy R Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I have put mine in a ditch! spun around a few times and of course had a little bit of fun while i was at it! but no pictures in the snow as she is in some state with not being cleaned Quote
morgey Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 I've come to the conclusion lsd's make driving in the snow worse, Which kinda sucks as both my cars have them Quote

Pulling out at a junction onto a fast road was interestign need the glanza sorted so i know at worst it will just spin haha.I have put mine in a ditch! spun around a few times and of course had a little bit of fun while i was at it! but no pictures in the snow as she is in some state with not being cleaned Haha how did you manage to put it in a ditch? I saw someone pull the handbrake on in asda car park in a jag last night, everyone loves a cheeky slide in the snow haha Quote

DavidAshton Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Mine hiding in a car park last week. Got stuck so many times, too many hills where I live. Managed to get to a car park away from all the numpties and waited it out there. Joys of a having a Glanza for a daily, wouldn't have it any other way to be fair! Quote
funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Awh bless it, little cars like these often fair better than the likes of big bmw's and such though, do enjoy seeing M3 drivers stuck haha. It's forecast snowy showers today but got a weather warning for tomorrow where I am. Won't be hanging around inw ork if it gets too bad, a good 25 mile journey in the snow is interesting and the splitter on the Advance is in danger of being snapped... Quote
aaddzz123 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 When we had that really bad snow in 2011 I was driving the gt then. It did struggle in foot deep snow (lol) but once on the road it wasn't too bad at all. Haven't tried since fitting the lsd so can't really comment. Quote
funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Lol if anything it just scares me the LSD, i miss the days of single wheel spins, they were the simple days lol. Full replaced/serviced all rear brakes and handbrake cables last year on the GT so the handbrake is absolutely immense anyways but in the snow last night i gave it a dab and it instantly went sideways haha lethal fun. Hoping for more tomorrow! Quote
daniel_g Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Had no starlet snow fun sadly because my 85 was away getting an exhaust made when there was snow here Was out in my WRX though which was a laugh until i ran out of luck / talent / braking ability, and mashed an alloy haha. Quote

Hahaha oh no what actually happened? 4WD drift went wrong? lol Would love a 4 paw for the snow, maybe one day... Quote
funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 What snow? Lol where abouts are you? i think the majority of the country has had a bit over the past few weeks. Only had a covering last night here, but forecast more for tomorrow. Being right on the coast we usually just get rain which sucks, but if the wind is from the north it can sometimes bring some beasty snowstorms in from the north sea Quote
kbond Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 What snow?Exactly what I was thinking hahaI'm in trowbridge wiltshire and the most we've had is a little frost on the windows it's depressing! Quote
daniel_g Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Hahaha oh no what actually happened? 4WD drift went wrong? lol Would love a 4 paw for the snow, maybe one day...4paw would be a laugh in the snow but id be too scared to half it round a lampost !!And Yes 4wd drift went wrong in the WRX lol, forgot i wasnt actually Coiln McRae and hit a kerb Got another set of wheels so alls good haha.

funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 Lol yeah that would be the thing about owning a 4paw- so very precious! I'd literally die if i bought one, converted it to 4efte, then it blew the diff. oh dear that's no good. at least it was just the wheel though. That thought went through my mind this morning if i slip into a curb and kill my work wheels. May swap them for some other alloys tonight, although i don't famcy R888's in the snow either hahaha Quote
maddox710 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Near Tamworth Staffordshire. Got nothing but frost Quote
funny onion Posted February 3, 2015 Author Posted February 3, 2015 That does suck a bit, we don't often get as much as say Leeds and Sheffield, but we do get some every now and again... you're not missing much i suppose, the novelty wears off very quickly at 6am on the way to work lol Quote

JoJo_228 Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 We have pure sunshine here.. With like 1mm of leftover snow on the ground which is nearly melted! Quote
funny onion Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Hahaha it's coming down mega heavy at work already. I won't be staying if it continues, i'll never make it home and end up staying in the officers mess... Quote
