Koop Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Gutted mate, could be tracking or you might have buckled a wheel or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polariskid Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Don't worry chap, I've done just the same. Mine was somewhat more extravagant, span out at 40 and stoved a curb and ate a hedge. But my tracking is shot out and it's due to a bent track rod end.

puggled Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 The Lupo should be easy to drive in snow with all that weight over the front axle?I know that made my fwd Transit a scoosh in the snow, but I've not had any snow since I bought the Lupo yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one litre wonder ;) Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 without wanting to sound smug here, but is it just me or is it impossible for these southern softies to drive in snow lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggled Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 I was lucky/unlucky depending how you look at it, but with an October birthday a lot of my driving lessons in Perth were in the snow, so right from day one I've been used to it.

georgen Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 our lovely councils arent as well prepared as yours... you have snow ploughs out and lots of gritters.... our council grit the bus routes and leave everything else so it just becomes a blanket of ice....Further south than us (london mainly)... becomes a standstill if there is 1 inch... they are the softiesIll think you will find that southern councils nick our grit cos they know we can drive on more than 2mm of snow and the world will stop if London gets a sprinkling of snow. dont they know there's country's out there covered in snow must if not all the year getting on with it.

People seem to think they should have their estate roads gritted for some reason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lermy Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 i can drive in the snow and im from down south....just try to avoid it if i can due to those down here who cant and would most likely end up sliding into the loop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to think they should have their estate roads gritted for some reason!yup main roads only, however half the time they dont bother there arse so you just get used to driving using the feel of the car so you are alot more aware and you have to drive to the conditions. some reason the further south you go people forget when it snows you cant drive as fast and they just need to deal with that lol!
