RobEvans Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Im just wondering how many people take there Supes off road at winter? With only 2 month of ownership and only driving it at weekends Iv decided to take mine off road today, so on the axel stands she went at the rear of my bodyshop untill spring 2007. Im sad to not to have had more driving experiance but with the slippy roads, salt and my lack of RWD experiance I decided it was the best option, also it'll give me chance to get all my BPU upgrades done and other various mods:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Mine is sued all year round, the only time i get worried is when the ice and snow arrive and the gritters don't come down my street Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I think the kind of people who 'winter' their Supras are the same people who on a summers day with only one cloud in the sky will decide the risk of rain is too great and mow the lawn instead. Muppets. It's a car FFS. Drive it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muppets. It's a car FFS. Drive it. not true 1. i dont have a garage so fed up of looking at it dirty 2. i have more chance of smashing it in the snow/ice/gritty roads 3.gives me a chance to get expensive christmas out of the way. 4.will have spare cash for bpu mods 5. I like to drive my supe quite hard in the summer/dry days and enjoy it, can't justify having so much power and such a fun car to drive and toodling around at 30/40mph for 4 months?

RedM Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 You certainly learn about the car when your on snow.. You certainly do. It normally takes me forty minutes to get home but it took me nearly two hours when it last snowed. Mind you, much of that was spent drifting around the empty works car-park.

Exactly, mights well drive a less powerfull car for 1/4 the petrol price and get there just as fast, also my trade goes very quiet at winter time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
