Great shots of your GTS! Was that up in the Snowy Mountains? Perhaps on the way up to Mt Buller, Falls Creek or Hotham in Victoria? Or the NSW side of the Crackenback at Thredbo or Smiggens?

I have a lot of experience skiing down under... Spent 8/8/88 on top of Mount Kosciuszko and skied down into Jindabyne after sunset.

You have a S.A. number plate and are from Adalade, so I doubt you were near your home!

Love the Auzzie spirit for life in the fast lane!

Back in January we had some significant rains that cleared the roads and a partly cloudy day, so I took Snow White out for some photos while flushing the cooling system... Kept her clean and salt free!









So... Snow White has driven near snow, but not in it...

Dinner plain is the highest freehold land in Australia. We took a run with about 20 928s and stayed a night there. It's very near Mt Hotham.
Yes, Adelaide South and I was the only one from this side of the country that took part in that particular run.
The first, and only time I've seen the outside temp reading below zero.
Here in Adelaide, we've just broken our hottest record. It was 50C here a week ago.

Wife was at work in her '90 and got caught in the storm. She wasn't real happy but made it home just fine.

Oops, I did not see the "Dinner Plain" between your photos... Love the Snow Gums...

50 C is 122 F - That's unbelievably hot! How are the vineyards surviving that?

Here is an old one I found somewhere.




And how does one get their Shiela to install the chains?

Proving the 928 really is a go anywhere super car, could you see a Ferrari or Lambo managing this

This reminds me of an old game we used to play with the sign at the bottom of Little Cottonwood Canyon near my home in Salt Lake City Utah (access to Snowbird and Alta ski areas.)

There was a sign at the bottom of the canyon at the chain removal pullout that said:


NO

CHAINS

OR

STUDS



Apparently to keep the roads from getting torn up.

We used to take a big black sharpie and add WHIPS, so it read:


NO

WHIPS, CHAINS

OR

STUDS







The moral of the story is:

You can't get no "Sadist Traction!"
