    Hint: when driving in the snow, remove snow buildup in wheels... functions like an unbalanced wheel and produces quite a wobble.

    Is that where you live or did you just fancy trying out the 4WD on it?

    tkids,
    it was a short drive, the main roads were clear and dry, no problems.... however, I probably wouldn't recommend it.
    It did make for some great donuts

    Re: Dirty dirty!!

    I'm embarrassed to say... they were not winter tires.
    The paved roads were snow-free, so no problems.
    The side street had about 10 cm of powder, the car handled fine but I didn't "test" the handling... just drove slow and cautiously. I only let loose in the in-laws very very large drive way... donuts and powerslides, like a GT racer!!

    Re: Dirty dirty!!

    You must big have balls GA/nerves of steel. I drove my new baby home from Toronto exactly 1 year ago today and encountered some light drifting with rooster tails coming off the rear tires. Those tires don't like the cold! Where are you situated?

    Re: Dirty dirty!!

    That is so GREAT! Many years ago I was returning from a trip and was on a stretch of freeway that was as straight as could be,--then turned off into a series of S's. Snow and mostly ICE built up inside the wheel well and I could barely turn the wheels from dead-ahead! Now THAT was some challenge! I would up trying to chip it away with a ski pole....

    Re: Dirty dirty!!

    Thanks everybody for your wonderful comments
    For something a little different, I was hoping to start a post of dirty, muddy, filthy (you get it) P-cars. So I'd like to invite all to post pics of their babies at the dirtiest.

    I don't miss living there this time of year. Cool shots! While you were doing donuts on your way to Tim Horton's, I was doing this:







    Please remember to rub your beautiful summer weather in my face when it's 100 degrees here. ;-)

    I'm north of you near Wingham, place called Lucknow. No other P-car for miles around. I am getting anxious to see spring, been parked since Nov 13. I purchased a C2 997 last Feb. from Downtown Fine Cars so will have to make a trip to TO in spring for 1st oil change, only got 7,500 km on last year.
