Looks like fun! Love screwing around in the snow in a RWD car with snow tires.

i like the way the snow is sticking to the wheels. Thats a great way to keep those brakes cool and fade free!

MB-great pics. Please, post more. Glad to see there's still some out there that can and do do this.

Rudy-a bit cramped in the 911, but not a bad thought.

^^^^^
I drive the car year-round; salt, snow, slush, whatever. Maybe 1-2 days a year I'm not able to drive it because of snow clearance issues in my unplowed Chicago city alley. BTW, it's a C4, not RWD as mentioned by someone else previously.
