    What a country...

     Great pictures, as usual, I'm still not convinced of the FL-car though, your C4S -20mm  was a stunning car...

     How do they compare in conditions like these?

    Wow!..nice pics with background scenery.

    I'm not a huge fan of the generation 2 model but these pics cause it to slowly grow on me!..i love the contrast of snow against the dark paintwork.

    Re: Snow pics of my 997.2 C2S

    I am also not realy convinced with the esteatics of the  FL. Specially the back. The lights are realy ugly and so 'non' Porsche to me. I liked the front a lot, a little bit less now.

    But driving the FL is so worth it.  It feels much faster and more planted. The only ting I dont' like is that it seems to me that you have to turn more the steering wheel then before !!!! Has anyone experienced the same thing ?

    @Porker : I could take much more risks with my C4S on the snow then with this one, and, of course, when slippery I had more traction with the C4S.

    @function analysi:Smiley  I did not event think about testing it, but I  should Smiley

    Great pics, Gnil, thanks for sharing. Smiley

    What were you doing in the woods, searching for a gas station? Smiley


    BTW, I see you've ordered the black dials of the non S for your C2S. Good decision. Smiley

    Re: Snow pics of my 997.2 C2S

    Great pics like always, Gnil Smiley I was already waiting for pics of your new baby in the snow - still have the snow pics of your Sealgrey baby in mind. Good to see that the new one is also used as an allrounder - meant to be driven Smiley

    Over here we got 25 cm of fresh snow this morning (happens only once in 20 years or so in the Rheinland) - complete chaos with all the "Flachland-Tiroler" who don't know how to drive on snow Smiley Even DUS airport was closed...

    I knew it would happen exactly when I would get my dream car Smiley

    Great pics, like usual. It seems to me that you get lucky with a tree of one of your pics. Sure you had great fun testing your car.

    You should come to the Porsche snow journey in Samedan this month

    Re: Snow pics of my 997.2 C2S

    Hey Gnil ! Superb pics - thanks for sharing ! Real 'winter wonderland' stuff !

    Actually, it snowed for only 20 minutes this morning in central London - the snow melted as soon as it touched the ground - didn't settle at all - and we were left with a filthy slush that quickly became a thin layer of muck on the road....

    Great pics, Gnil.  How do you like the PDK ?  Previously you wrote that it was a mixed blessing and that you might prefer the 6-speed.

    Very nice. I especially like the last shot with the mist in the background and 4th from the last with the snow/ice covered trees. 

    Makes me want to take a trip to Switzerland.
