MrRalphMan Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Did it seem like a bad accident or just a minor shunt? As above hope all involved are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brett Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 With how it looked, it was involed in a small pile-up. It was absolutly thrashing it down with rain at the time and as i was guiding the coach round i didnt take a massive peek lol.... But it looked as if the n/s was all caved in. with how it was angled at the time. i couldnt see the people in side. Im un-sure on exact in's and out's im affraid Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 These cars are hard to drive in the rain even when driving slow, Hope they are ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 No harder then any other car as long as you drive to the conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyon Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Nah front wheel drives are totally different, ive never had to think "am I going to slow enough for this corner" in a FWD and never had a single problem in FWD, however in the supra there is a corner in farnworth and no matter how i tackle it in the rain the back end always wants to kick out evan at 5-10mph.

fruity_south Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 this has been my first RWD, and will be my first winter in it and i must admit im pooing a brick. think iv got the hang of it in the rain, just not looking forward to ice. unfortunatly i cant afford to buy a cheap run around aswell, otherwise i would, and be sure of t being a FWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get Chris to give it a once over if I were you, I have no problems driving in the rain (bar aquaplaning, but can't do much about that!) and I've driven in some pretty nasty conditions.

turbonut Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I get this at T-junctions at slow speeds with Toyo's and had a full geometry check less than 12 months ago, they told me it was a very well balanced car That little bit of twitchyness makes them fun but it can bite your butt if your not carefull. Just hope no serious injuries or fatalaties occured. I've been a member on here for two years now and every autumn/early winter near misses happen with members, sadly it seems inevitable PLEEEASE Take care people!!!

Snooze Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 My Supra was my first >200bhp RWD car. It was my only car, and I used it as a daily driver all through winter rain and even snow only a couple of months after I bought it, on pretty worn Pirelli P-Zeros with absolutely no problems. If you are having problems in wet then there is something wrong with either your car or your right foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benyon Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 They came with the alloys not sur ewhat make but at a guess they would be average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbloodyturbo Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 They came with the alloys not sur ewhat make but at a guess they would be average. i'm running tyres that came with the alloys and all i can say is change them. the tyres that came with them are cooper and they're pants.
