Re: I love wintertime (Pics)
a bit dirty indeed 
but there is a good reason, I had two choices today, either spend the time washing the car or jump in and drive it... what I chose to do in the end is obvious
Moogle, hang in there a bit more, "GT3 time" will come, and you will make for it in no time!
Actually I'm a bit grounded with the bike as well untill summer, as even if its sunny now, many days its still to cold to ride it appropiately since I'm using DOT Racing Tires (Supercorsas) on the GSX and its hard to bring them operating temperature on cold days and on the street. And unlike cars with Michelin Sport Cups, these are even worse, you have only two wheels to stand on, and no thread pattern at all on the edges on which you contact in the corners

Indeed we've had really nice weather here in spain in the last weeks. It snowed during holiday here and they're saying it's going to snow tomorrow again.Sorry, no porsche to decorate the pics
or maybe yes
The very famous (for some :P) N1 spanish road... All the porsches entering the country pass by my home. I've already chased two trucks loaded with 997's
Carlos, you won't get there with you 2 wheel vehicle :P Maybe with the raptor...

Re: I love wintertime (Pics)
I'd rather drink battery acid than drive an SUV, but you're right about not having too much snow down here. The tricky part is when you do have snow, most people are reckless while driving in it. Coming home from work last Wednesday night (snowing), I saw 10 accidents in 15 miles. The SUV drivers here are the worst: They think that because their vehicle can move forward with few problems on snow and ice it can therefore stop on snow and ice with the same ease. Big mistake on their part. SUVs stop no better than any other truck. Station wagon is safer: low center of gravity, roomy, and gas efficient by comparison. I'm in the ban SUVs camp.

Nice pics Carlos
Not really. Carlos and I belong to the group of P-car owners who do not live to keep our 11s always pristine clean. It cannot be done, unless the car is not driven, or only driven in town, in good weather.

I drive it like hell every day and wash it once or twice a week, ummm but I'm crazy. Eh, at least I know it.
Washing is nice quiet time out in the garage...cigar...a little wine...blah, blah, blah.

Hahahaha ... you called?
Seriously though, winter is a great opportunity to drive. These are some of the best conditions you can find to have fun and to learn.
