When it was snowing here my car had no engine so i could not make any sideways driving with 131 but i have stolen my wife's subaru impreza and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately the winters in Poland are not that good nowadays. I remember that i was going for a rides every evening with my friend in his rally honda civic and often i came back with fenders broken due to to fast driving. the longest bend i took sideways that i have measured was 300m bend that i could take on full 4th gear :) Title: Re: Who is going out in the snow...

So ye are going out to play in the SNOW, well knowone asked me if i'd like to go. So i prayed for RAIN( i'm taking my ball in). No KIV(theredx19) i don't think it's the child in you that wants to go play in the snow , it's the ESKIMO. Anyway when we get a fall of snow in Ireland (1 inch) the whole country shuts down and doesn't know what to do , eccept us 131er's. Now thats what true fun is. What do ye think ? :D ;D ;) :P Ger Title: Re: Who is going out in the snow... Post by: kev131 on January 04, 2008, 06:00:08 PM What snow? ??? ???
Did someone say "what snow"? Have a look at these...! A commute that normally takes 15 minutes took me an hour this morning with 4 accidents along the way (not mine). This much snow fell in 30 minutes.

Post by: theredx19 on January 04, 2008, 10:07:59 PM If you had your 131 out you would not have been going quick enough to stop hard as you would have been having too much fun going sideways, or as they say round my way "diff it out" ;D ;D ;D
