Default A 992C4S in its element

Some nice ice fog, temps in the 20s, a wee bit of the white stuff on the ground is a great excuse to take my NLRC out for a spin. No comments so far on the Michelin, though I am definitely not zooming around like on the Nokian Hakka 8 studded that were on my RS5. Haven't (tried or) spun the rear out yet either as I'm going to be gentle until I pass 4k miles. Looking forward to some winter driving!

OMG it's .... dirty.... oh the horror... and it won't rain until... :-)



Just gorgeous, who cares about the weather?

Amateur level close to Siberian's, humble Alpin tires to drive around.

Great pictures! You got snow already? We had 16 inches two weeks ago and then the temps shot up, it all melted and roads turned to Nokian Hakka studded only (Macan and Touareg). We're supposed to be in the 40s for turkey day... this is not good. Safe drives John

That's from earlier this year. Still managing with the top down and bermuda shors (no reason for concern, I will not share those pics) . part of is denial, lasting until turkey day. I'm sure we'll have lots of the white stuff soon enough. I'll make sure to snap some pics. It gets filthy with slush.
Btw, Interestingly in the PIWIS you will see coding lines for external heating (hybrid pre heating or block heater?) and remote start (likely in conjunction with IPA- not the beer). Probably coming in the LCI.

I like the alpins, just not what they represent, even with the sporadic hooliganism. Cup2s and Ferodo 1.11 are my spring hallmark, looking forward to it!

I just couldn't do it. Leave the baby out in the cold, rain, and snow, or even drive it! I'd be having palpitations thinking about every drop of rain, or how the cold is making everything about the car cold. Brrrrrr, just no, no, no. Garage princess for my OCD.

But you guys! Hey. That is what they were intended for and so I salute you

Like my Siberian Huskies, the NLRC does have her own digs - while the former ones aren't heated (even though they have filed occasional grievances about that) the latter one is so it's not like she's left out all night

A rainy, humid, damp (average day) on a narrow (are there any wide ones?) English country lane as you head to the Pub for a pint (or two) and a game of darts with the lads; what could provide more palpitations than that??

Just put my winter wheels on my C4S. No worried because I have a full SunTek Wrap with a Ceramic Coating. Common Snow !
