Suprash Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Be very carefull out there guys, cause I just had a scare on the way back from Greenford to B/stoke. Our secondary site is there and work said I could drive back in my lunch hour to save all the hassle in the morning as we could see the snow getting heavier. So I left IBM in Greenford and got onto the A40, was driving along in the slow lane doing about 50mph with the traction control in snow mode, god does that rob all your power, when all of a sudden the car starts drfiting to the right sideways , there was absolutely now power being applied and now Im facing the central reservation, so I counter steer but nothing was happening. Thinking it back through the car was just sliding all over the place while drifting across all 3 lanes, I eventually gained control in the fast lane after what seemed a few lefties and righties of the wheel. That crash barrier floated before my eyes with big pound signs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Basically: Supra + Snow = Trouble I was amazed how easy it was for the supra's arse end to wiggle whilst driving on engine revs alone (no loud pedal) down my road when we had snow last.

Sheefa Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 I mentioned in another thread I had the back end out at only 10mph today!!!! Just cautiously driving down GFs road and out she goes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Have I ever mentioned that I drove twenty miles in the snow and the only arse out action I had was in my works car-park when I played drift-king to an audience of bored workers. Apart from that I found that she'd handle just fine if I was very careful with my right foot. Pre-RLTC fitting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
