Nodalmighty Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) Exactly. People on this site spend too much time polishing their chromed turbo blankets for my liking. Get out there and drive, you pack of screaming girls!

The Raven Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mines off the road due to being broke and having no MOT. Soon as the front end is back on its back on the road, lasts years snow was great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mine will get used on nice days, cold weather means good power, but cold roads and tyres means low traction so i'll be watching what i'm doing in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Its even more amuzing with 10" wide fronts and 11'5" wide rears, i took mine out once last year on the snow but thankfully the rds i was on were clear of other cars so i had heaps of fun doing 300 yrd broadslides, stopping wasnt as much fun though and had to be planned well in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mms has been off the road for a while anyway so it'll stay off until it gets nice. Back better than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyh Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 mine is off the road all tucked away in need of a rebuild:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 mines only used as a weekend car anyway so winter it stays tucked away unless there is a nice sunny dry cold cold day. . . . . . boooooooooooooooooooost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJP Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Meh its not a Ford! Mine is hardcore! Its in a climate controlled unit with dehumidifier which also has sprays perfume at 5 past the hour for 5 hours in a 24 hour period. It is also wrapped up in a thunderbird duvet to keep it very cuddle and bubble wrap around its feet to keep her comfy. I also have a Buzzlight night light as she is scared of the dark. Mine will be going in the garage shortly once I have one last piece of work done on it for this year. Will prob get it back out next Apr if its not a rainy one ps going to miss it loads, how do you all cope without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobD Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mine will be off road for a little bit somewhere down the line, the TT engine and R154 box will be going in ready for next summer, possibly a respray and kit depending on monies!!

Neil-NA Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Mine is no garage queen so will get used as much as possible. Remember kids, a car is to be driven, not just ponced about in when its dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Full set of 8" stock 16's with 225 tyres is the way to do it in the snow My winter wheels 18"s x 8" with brand new hankook icebears went on acouple of days ago and I can honestly say its made a world of difference. All the roads my way are constantly wet and muddy. I was having major trouble stopping the car as the ABS kept cutting in all the time. Now I've lost a bit of dry back end power grip but I can drive with confidence on all the slippery surfaces I've come across so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyer864 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 Well after last years extravaganza "Dancing on snow" and blocking the whole main road of the town , i've decided to invest in a cheap frontera 4x4 2.0 sport Picked it up 2 weeks ago, in mint condition for year, slight cooling problem due to blocked rad. but nothing to fret about. Supra tucked up with my new car cover off ebay ! seems ok so far , as i bought a large , due to having a Trd rear wing and a early do-luck front end ! still the cover is too small as the wing mirror pockets are not located properly , but it will fit with a bit of squeeze !!

Kirk Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 (edited) This year im running pirelli snowsport tyres in 225/55 r16s on all 4 corners with no abs or TC... should be interesting Even if i do hit a kerb at leastnthe wheels aint nothing special.
