Mike M Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Just got back safely with the Sup from Dundee. Struggled like nothing on earth getting up these two hills 6th gear nearly stalled, 5th not any better 3rd now going sideways at idle then overtaken by a transit:d Best today tho, driving from Forfar roads are pure white and had just passed a big accident near Mcdonalds, this total twat in a mercedes van is sitting on my bumper and i'm doing 30 thinking thats quick enough. Anyway on the straight I see him getting very close and pulling out to overtake but he suddenly loses the back end slides sideways straightens then sideways again before bouncing both wheels off the kerb. Nearly p'ssed myself laughing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly p'ssed myself laughing. I don't understand why some people seem to leave their brains behind when they get behind the wheel in weather like that. Had the same just before xmas when we had a frosty spell for a week or so. First time in those conditions in the Supra on my way to work up a steep untreated hill, keeping it steady at about 29mph when some tit starts to overtake me and then after passing me starts slip sliding all over the shot. Lucky for me I had reached my work and turned off at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Boo says snow is great: The emus think it's so so, every once in a while: But really prefer the summer: But Wally doesn't want any more, or he's back off to Oz: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Took the Supra to work today - looked out the window lunchtime, saw the snow and decided 'bugger that'. So I called the missus for a lift home, left the Supra tucked up safe and warm at the workshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
