I know a girl who drives an L200. Admittedly she lives out in the sticks a bit, but she was complaining she couldn't get to work the other day. Out of all the people in our place, she would probably be the one who's best equipped, vehicle-wise, to get there lol

Mind you, she went from an Aygo to the L200. And she struggled to drive the Aygo tbh.

(Yes, she has bashed it once already :roll: )

my L200 (old stylee) trojan has a diff lock, and it simply goes everywhere.... the other night, there were some kids out rallying round the local estates in a 1.2 spi nova...so I thought... it'd be rude not to have some fun with them.. so i followed them round town for a couple of miles, they were swerving onto the most snowy bits & randomly handbraking, basically all the young lad stuff..... so I finally got bored & simply overtook them, then went home

I've not had any problems in my L200, I've been helping tow people who have got stuck etc.
Most of the time I leave it in RWD and go sideways everywhere, just wish it had a few less turns lock to lock.

No pics. Was very deep though.

Not enough weight over the back end on them IMO. Diff lock or not.

double cabs are way better, but 1/2 tonne of building materials does transform the handling

Very true. This ones bed was empty. lol

The four bags of sand in the boot allowed me to plough my way through. :)

lol /\rse first into the ditch?

Aside from getting stuck twice (both times freed by me +/- a mate) I've been fine. :)

If you went out from giving it big licks then it's nothing to be ashamed of. lol

I've yet to get stuck in the snow. Never even had any slip going up/down some rather steep and icy hills too.

Mind you, Ii save my silliness for when I get home, the turning bay at the top is just the right size (and clear of vehicles at the mo, as every bellend is parking out the main road to avoid driving on the estate) to just spin the celica round with a little bit of powaaaaa
