spikedjack Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 No chance! I'm not bothered about the snow but more the road salt that they layer all over it! Couple layers of hard wax on the paint, and a huge caking of underseal underneath it'll be fine! They;re there to be driven not mommied Although they arent the best in this weather so home its now going to stay lol! - - - Updated - - - You mean you can actually use a supra in the rain and snow???........... i thought they were just sunny day cars, oh well lol.

Big Mark Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 I am, but that's because it's my only car. Though I did fit winter/snow tyres last friday to it so looking forward to seeing how good they really are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spikedjack Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'll be taking mine out since we don't have any snow up here yet! I hope it rains (not bitter at all) On a serious note, on the ungritted roads with a couple inches of snow, snow mode isnt as awful as i've always thought! With the traction off, its unreal how easy they slide, frightening really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guigsy Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Yeah. I got stuck on a speed bump a few years ago in the snow. Enough speed to get the front wheels over but not the rears. Couldn't get enough momentous to bump the fronts back over and get a run up and couldn't get enough traction to get the rears over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) I had to use my the year before last for a week or so as I was "between cars". It happened during the worst snow fall I've ever known and then when we had all frozen snow on the ground for a while. The Supra was great. I drove on ice and compacted snow regularly and was going past stranded X5s, and other such Chelsea tractors more often than I thought. I did have Continental snow tyres on though - 225 up front and 245 on the rear on 17" stock rims It drove brilliantly. The tyres made a huge difference - with the eagle F1s fitted it would not move forward on any sort of cambered road.

slugger1 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Used mine this morning to get to work but ended up coming back after an hour or so because I didn't want to get stuck in Guildford. Just as well I left when I did because they hadn't bothered to grit the roads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
