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 :p

 

Although they arent the best in this weather so home its now going to stay lol!

You mean you can actually use a supra in the rain and snow???........... i thought they were just sunny day cars, oh well lol.

 

With a stock bay i guess! I'd probably cry if i got yours wet :lol:

:p I'll be taking mine out since we don't have any snow up here yet! :p

 

I hope it rains :p (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.

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 :p

 

 

First world RWD problems right there :lol:

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 :D 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. :)

That is a nice parking with a 360° turn :D

 

:D

 

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!:no:

 

Exactly the same here. We've about 3-4 inches now and its still coming down heavy
