AntD Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 We had quite a bit of snow last night.Couldn't steer my supra into the road after I reversed off my drive.I tried several times.Never had this problem with any of my other cars.Anyone had a similar problem before?Had to take a taxi to work in the end,but at least my Supra is still safe and sound:) .

Bobbeh Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 I got a little worried tonight when it started to settle, the Supra SUCKS in the snow. I remember that cold snap we had a few years back that blocked the M11, I couldnt safely go over 25 in that! Felt lame driving home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Does anyone ever use chains on their wheels in heavy snow:taped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Not that i know of. wouldnt see a reason not to. Apart from its not really worth it in uk as you would need to take them off once there is no snow on the road. i would say taxi if its snowing! Its not very often and cheaper than fixing your car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted March 2, 2006 Author Share Posted March 2, 2006 Yes,I agree as its not really worth it.The snow was only bad on the roads of the estate where I live.The main roads were fine as they salted/gritted them.I just felt like a fool trying to steer my car into the road while everyone else just cruised by.I've enjoyed driving my supra this first Winter,but this was the first time I had to leave it at home due to the weather:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike M Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 [attach]30180[/attach] Had to dig mine out in Aberdeen today. Been sitting for two weeks, the snow on the back window was level with the wing. Battery was dead,the drivers lock was solid, up to my knees in the stuff getting soaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_mcevoy Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 To be honest today was the first time i had to drive the Supra in the snow, a blizzard at one point, on the way to the airport and i never had a problem with it, never understeer/over, no sliding etc. after all the horror stories over the last few weeks, i was pleasently surprised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
