Like some people on here, my supras not something I drive in the rain or at winter, but today was the first time all year its been out.

Having it sat about all winter ment I could fiddle and do some upgrades without stressing. Having only owning it since about july I hadn't really got chance to drive it that much until the crap weather set in.

During the winter ive gone from this: (fairly standard)

So today ive fell in love with it all over again, I gave it a wash this morning, put some fuel in and went for a drive. It always puts a smile on my face, whether it be from someone checking the car out,or driving like a hooligan.

 

I just know some people will be having the same feelings when their supras come out from winter hiding. Its like buying it all over again haha, driving round with a grin on my face like hell yehh this is my supra!:cool:

Nice looking car you have there, but I would say that seeing as it looks the same as mine :)

 

Personally I drive mine throughout winter, unless the roads have been recently salted, I just can't resist it

 

I just struggled to really enjoy it in the wet. with it being auto it always want to kill me on kick down or when the 2nd turbo kicks in haha. Didn't find it worth the risk lol

They're lovely wheels. A good clean and a few coats of wheel polish had then gleaming!

 

Yeh I found the fit was really good mate, think maybe I had to open one of the shelf holes up abit but honestly I was surprised it fitted so well.
