    Are we having a "kill list" this year?

    Seems to be a lot of recent purchases of 200's. Wondering how many are going to be stuffed over the next 3 or 4 months.

    My old one will sadly be on the list shortly. It has no engine or gearbox. And a trashed shell due to a van driver.

    Just stuck a fat ARB on the back yesterday and noticed how bald the rears are. Probably won't need to book the MoT next month.

    Hopefully my grey S13 will make it onto the list as it has well used up all its lives and is massively overdue a proper crash.

    Having driven one for 3 years every day, I've got more chance of crashing my 306 this winter.

    The 200 grips better and stops better. It's just the right foot that keeps killing season alive each year.

    Yup. I did for 4 abd a bit years. through wind, rain and snow and never had any problems. The accident rate in snow is due to the british being idiots and thinking that it just makes the road a bit more slippery and 4x4's can be driven normally. Spend a winter in the Alps and get the experience Driving in snow isn't difficult if you know what you're doing. I had 1 accidental slip and that was taking avoiding action due to someone not having a clue and thinking putting foot down hard was the answer to sliding sideways after taking a corner too fast I did have a few "accidental" slides though

    Your brake pad fell out of the caliper? How is that even possible .

    This will be my 5th year driving the 200 in the winter. It's fun .

    The pad material delaminated from the backing plate is what he is saying. The backing plate is held in by the pins but doesn't do much for the braking.
