Supercars in the snow!

[HarryRiddles]

Saw this conquering my hill in Oxford this morning, not much has been able to get up it so far. Not a supercar but unexpected in this weather with all the snow, ice and salt etc. And definitely expensive enough with that plate added.



Has anyone else seen any expensive supercars in this weather out and about? Or has anyone got any photos of their car braving the elements?

The photo does not show it well but there are two very steep parts of the hill that the GT did with ease, and only a few cars (mainly 4x4s) have been able to get up it.

And he was taking pensioners to the shops because they cannot walk in the snow so I think he deserves a bit of respect for helping people out.

Ok. I'll try harder. Why is it 'defiantly expensive'?

Some more pointers. It's not a GT as it has too many doors. I'd guess a Continental Flying Spur.

You do know they are permanent 4 wheel drive?

Apologies I meant definitely, a common spelling error.

Sorry again for not being perfect with the naming, yes it is a Flying Spur- the four door version of the two door Continental GT. And yes I know they are four wheel drive.

I'm a bit slow today.

I'd like to ow whether the car had winter tyres on. Four wheel drive will have it's limits without the proper rubber

Grass, we only have about an inch of snow here. We pay higher council taxes for that.

Looks like Chatsworth, I was at the FOC day in the summer and it was a great day. A mate goes to the annual TVR day each Spring and apparenty they had nearly 700 there last time! If ever there was a venue for a 'Wilton' of the North then Chatsworth has to be it.....just need someone to organise it!

Funny you mention it, I am organising a BIG Supercar show at an equally perfect venue in May in Notts-make sure you come to that!! I had tried Chatsworth however they already have too many motoring events there...
