Tercel: la traction fantastique !

Yesterday I've fetch a car in Switzerland, a poor Shuttle '90.

As there was snow in Jura mountains, I took my '83 Tercel to trail the car-carrier. I also took two pairs of snow-chains (for wheels).
What for ?
A Tercel don't need that !

Climbing more than 6600Lbs during 8km at 13% (1to7 ?) in the snow is a joke for a Tercel.
4000-4500rpm in 1st gear... no real slip... no overheating at all... nothing.

21 years old... may be 500000Km on it... fresh as a spring flower after such a 460miles trip in the day.

Tercel ? L'attraction fantastique !

I agree 100% Bloody thing just crawls up on top of the snow because it's so light.
