The Rain Cometh

[newtomymr2]

So it looks like it's here again, summer tried it's hardest to hold on , but nothing can halt the inevitable return of winter

Which of course means Wind, Rain, Ice, Rain, Snow, Fog, Rain, Cold, Rain, and some Rain

So who will be mothballing their 2 for the long dark miserable winter months?

Anybody taking their's off the road for some flashy paintwork? ;) or that mental engine work that nobody has ever tried before?

Or perhaps like myself is there anybody that is just a little bit of a sissy and does'nt like the thought of driving down Britain's speed camera infected roads in poor light, wind, rain, ice and any other combination of hideous wethear that will of course come our way over the coming months?

Or will you tell me to pull myself together, stop insuring taxing and MOT'ing enough car's to start my own International driving championship, and just drive a little more cautiously over the miserable months?

I think opinion will vary grately on this subject, just curious to hear what they will be ;)

Thats the "Brown Trouser Factor"

On the road i've always managed to catch them before they get too much of a handfull.

[sewelly]

Yeah mine staying on the road.....cant wait for the snowfilled empty car parks in the middle off the moors cant beat it!!!!

[cfc1]

Been a good few years sinve i've had RWD, personally i can't wait for the snow.. and also that huge empty carpark.. :):):)

[m4rk scotland]

should be ok, first winter witht he car... il take it easy and only really play in car parks which should be fun, just getting there is the problem!!

[JappyBeast]

Mine stays on the road, its my first year with alloys and I'm not sure if I should put my old 14's back on!

Tiss the time of year where we get at least 3 threads telling of crash stories.

See you on the flipside fellow MR2 owners. :P

[Markturbo]

i will be driving a rover till next year as my tubby needs few bits doing for the mot and i don't wanna just drive it slow while the wheather is bad id rather crash the rover :D

[JappyBeast]

Jimlad is due a crash soon.

[Jinxed]

im not expecting to be driving mine ....cos Mr T seems to be looking after her most of the time lol seriously tho Think im going to carry on driving the 2 (if i ever get it back ) unless it goes ultra nasty out there... dont fancy my chances tbh if theres snow/black ice. rain....ill do rain but any of the previous 2 and i think ima be driving my rover cos similar to what mark4turbo said.... 'id rather crash the rover' but more specifically relevant to me 'I almost WANT to crash the rover' lol :D

[MR2vince]

Mine came off the road today, needs some work doing for the MOT, and its time to get the heavy work done, new kit, alloys, interior ect.

Comes in handy when ya have your own double garage and a pit in it ;)

Ive gone back to borrowing fathers civic 1.6 sport. ill still have a bit of fun.

Ive just got all my ICE through this week so im in the process of designing that, and also im having some custom seats made in white leather yummy.

first jobs, are new Battery, alternator upgrade, cills and rims. then im onto body kits, lights and engine, then finaly interior, new seats, and ICE. its getting plugged with over 5000w's of power! thats a lot for such a small cab!! im hoping that ive got enough room to fit the complete 5.1 system. theres also a 9" LCD monitor going in, along with some cool blue LED lighting.

the car should look the nutts for around march time ;) fingers crossed!

Im also in two minds whether or not to respray the car, but im liking it white at the mo

vince

Ps: im just getting into ICE design and installs, so if ya need anything drop us an email

[jaxx]

wahey! i love wet weather!

cant wait for that jubbly roundabout on my way to work, or the ASDA round about that you can come off sideways for 200yards! :D

[AE82 GT]

Well it's p1ssing it down and I have alredy been looking at the rear end 2 times on my way to work GRIN GRIN GRIN !!!

not so cool when you get it wrong, i think i'll leave getting the nose painted untill summer, if we ever get a good one?

just been offeded a 309 1.4 for £100 - 12 months MOT no tax but 6 months should do to smoke arround in? options options......

[Tabulous]

Mine will be staying out, makes you repect them more in weather like this......Saying that, can't boosting it at 40mph and getting the back end out its magic......... :hokus-pokus:

On a seperate note, you guys with LSDs do you find that the back end will always step out to the left if you boost it in a straight line ??

[GIDDLEPIN]

Been a good few years sinve i've had RWD, personally i can't wait for the snow.. and also that huge empty carpark.. :):):)

Empty car park+snow= (Nearly as good as a certain grassy area at a certain car meet )

[TOYMOTA]

Mines gunna be on the road. Looking forward to the conditions. Loved going sideways in an old Capri Sport my dad used to have. Slightly different story with a the MR tho. Will be interesting!!

[GazMR2GTS]

Staying on the road for me, iv had to MR2's an n/a last winter and the tubby this winter, i think ill just get more of a grin factor when going round sideways in the snow lol

[Penelope Pitstop]

My lovely car will be out on the roads through winter ,,the hardtop will get put on middle October( would have preferred bit sooner really) and i am having the garage door made (remote controll ? auotomatic? whatever you call it so i will be encouraged to house it in the garage during the terrible winter nights) P.P.

[JustJJ]

She is staying on the road.. tis me only car

[Jinxed]

Best of luck and skill everyone... all keep safe and lets avoid any tragedies but have lotsa fun

[JappyBeast]

Dont you love the sound of the t-bar glass creaking when covered in frost!

[jerry phipps]

Well mine is a weekend car so i guess it's going to be locked up for the winter maybe. But it might come out for a bit of fun from time to time ;)
