Fifty Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Who is driving through the winter in their Supras? I am getting withdrawal symptons and fancy taking the old TT to work tommorow but its an early start TBH Ive avoided using the car as much as poss in the winter but I really want to give it a run tomorrow. Temp at 0600 is gonna be -1 or 2 but the roads are pretty much salted (A30) How likely is it to step on on me if Im easy on the gas? or am I losing my bottle? 52:slap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Have to say I avoid driving mine as much as possible at the mo. It's bitten a few times without even trying! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Remember, you can make the supra go as slow as any other car. The nice thing is that it also goes a lot faster than most too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntD Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Remember, you can make the supra go as slow as any other car. The nice thing is that it also goes a lot faster than most too. Amen to that.I'm driving mine all year round.Even though I've been tempted to boot it many a time the posts I read on here about the back end stepping out,is a constant reminder to take it easy and drive it with respect.On the other hand one can never tell whats around the corner as there are so many bad drivers out there:complain: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffSupra Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Drive mine all year round, dont pay £1600 to keep it locked up for 6 months! Be a devil. Gwwwwn! get it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Driven my nearly every day of ownership so far. Really learning the limits in this weather. Showed a chap in a very powerful sounding, well looked after Capri a thing or two tonight. Less worried about the back end stepping than I am about being hit by some twit in an SUV who has no respect for the speed limit or braking distances. Drive it.

SimonB Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yep, that's why I own a Supra - it's reliable enough to drive every day so why be miserable driving a crap car every day and only use it at weekends. Driven mine pretty much every day for over 4 years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 mines gets its usual 15 mile a week run, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Heres a thing though. If I do drive my sh*tter Volvo to work I can do the journey in ten minutes less than in the Supra. Mostly because the fastest, most direct route is littered with speed humps which the Volvo will take at 30. Wouldn't dream of that in the Supe although it does make one feel a bit special when you slow right down over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. You don't marry Kate Beckinsale then fuck her nan do you, so why buy a Supra and not drive it! Goodnight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Heres a thing though. If I do drive my sh*tter Volvo to work I can do the journey in ten minutes less than in the Supra. when I take my Dad anywhere in mine he always says it's no faster to get anywhere cos it takes him so long to get out of it at the other end!

ivan Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Using mine daily here too. Not too bad as long as you're careful on the curved bits and don't boot it too hard anywhere. In a couple of weeks I've got to drive to Hitchin and back to install VPN in our branch there. End of Feb I'm trekking up to Glasgow to do the same. Can't fly as I've got all the IT kit to take with me (2 PCs, printers, scanner, fax etc). Worked a deal with the Boss to get car allowance these days.

supragold Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've been using mine everyday over winter since I've had it back and the heaters don't always work. Nice fat jacket, some big old gloves and a scarf and I'm set to take it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
