Default Winter has arrived

I am looking forward to testing my new winter tires this weekend (Nokain). I am happy that I chose the 4S now...

Now that looks like fun! Where are you?
I put my snows on a little prematurely here, but have been enjoying a narrow tire with less grip to slide the car around a little in the dry.
You will be fine and enjoy driving the car the whole year!

This doesn't look like a car that's driven in the snow, it makes a nice pic though

Hi guys, I live in Luxembourg, squashed between Belgium, France and Germany. We get quite a bit of snow each year, and there is a bunch of 911's here being driven in winter. This is my first Porsche, I bought it from the Porsche dealer - the previous owner used it as a dd for 6 yrs so that means it already saw some snow by the time I got it. Anyway, I give it tlc as much as possible and make sure that it gets polished and waxed regularly.
After my drive yesterday I had it washed and polished and now it is tucked away for my 1200 km round trip to a nothern part of germany next weekend. I am looking forward to taking the car back to the roads it was designed for in the first place.

I can honestly say that the largest part of yesterday I had a grin in my face. The car just handled so well in the bad weather.

Nice. I drive mine all year as well. No snow yet but we often get some. I'd like to get a pic of driving mine in the snow on a sunny day with the top down. For any of you that love the outdoors the cab it perfect. Obviously not in the rain with the top down but on a cold clear day nothing beats it. Right Tom?

Be sure to take some pics on that trip of Germany and the car and post em....europe is awesome and I'm sure even better with a 911.
