    One of my shit car yesterday



    Grant - That looks like we had last year, I measured it at 5" I think. This time round was 2.5" measured, so driving has actually be fine.

    Only issue is the icy side roads where the compacted snow has melted is nice and slippery, but generally I've been getting on as usual. I'm moving house in a week, so been very busy out and about buying stuff and dumping stuff, but if anything the snow has let me get on with business as there's less people on the roads.

    I had to go lakeside on friday evening (no not to drift) to buy some shit. It's the quitest I've ever seen it. Perfect

    Nowhere near that amount of snow here, maybe 1" but that had all gone pretty much straight away.

    My road however is now covered in 1/4" of ice, which makes getting out interesting

    i did make it up there on the second run after letting most of the air out from the rear tyres reversing back to the main road and gunning it through to 3rd not even slowing for the corner

    the snow here was betwen 6-8 inchs and more on the hill tops

    The A2 coming out of london this evening was a bit fun, the snow had settled and every time even touched the throttle or brakes was trying to mate my van to the side of the road lol

    think theres a bit in a hedge somewhere, another bit in a ditch....

    nah, it got a bit squished so to prevent it actually getting killed in the snow im running stock at the moment, though got a type x bumper from a kouki 180sx on route.

    cars too low to run fibre glass bumpers in the snow, itd just hit snow and break

    awesome looks but still in bendy plastic form
