Title: Awesome road trip in a 911

A bit old, but a nice read.

Scroll down and look for the post by Great Pretender. Dispels the myth that RWD and snow will kill you to death, instantly.  :congrats:

911's are known to be sh*t hot in the snow! Seen snow testing lap times and the only thing that could beat the Audi's and evo's where the 911's albeit they were the 4wd versions iirc

Yeah, they are pretty clever. This one's a 2WD.

Hi folks, this was me!

Strange to think it happened almost exactly a tear ago.  No longer have the car, but it was a fabulous drive.

Anyway, I've now bought a MK5 R32  :smiley:

No, the C2S was a different league, but the R32 is still usefully quick. Quick enough for the daily plod anyway.
