Great pictures set Marco ! I'm so jealous of your turbo....and also your snow. I just can't wait to start my snowboard season.

If you post this picture in our Monthly Photo contest you have already my vote.

BTW, do you have it in bigger size (1900x1200) I would like to have it as my wallpaper ?

Here my email: julz_rs4@gmail.com

Thanks in advance !

did you keep the turbo wheels for snow tires?

yes, i'll take those for snow tires. a 315 tire in the back with snow on the road is too much

yeah me too - i prepared my boards already in september! way more snow is expected for this weekend.. and it's really needed. until now we're not having a lot of snow in the resorts....

sure, not problem buddy. i'll send you a bigger version when i'm back home.

.... now make the car ready for winter ... Sally is already salted from last weekend, unfortunately not yet driven on snow-roads

Cool can't wait !

All the snow we received so far around ~12cm is gone because of the rain and high-temperature. Very unusual winter season. At least you have the Alps in your backyard.

Today we had massive snow fall all over switzerland - i've decided to leave a bit earlier from the office and get the TT out of the garage. i drove towards the little mountains in my backyard. the roads were mostly wet around my city but as higher i drove up the mountain as more snow was on the street. at some points it was really tough even with the AWD. during the run a local guy with his subaru passed me and gave me a thumb up. in front of his house he stopped me and said - i've never expected a TT up here in these conditions...

on my way back i stopped at a castle and took a few pics. here you go - hope u like it

well, it's not even a propper AWD as there is just small percentage of torque to the front axle right? just can't remember the ratio

thumbs up for driving TT in these conditions

just a question - are those the fabulous GT2 seats you have in your Tubo?

I'm sure you had fun!

stradale · « **Reply #92 on:** 15-Feb-2012, 21:04:49 »

Kudos for driving the TT in these conditions!

Owners who leave them in the garage till spring don't know what they're missing out on....

Really nice shots of your 996TT in the snow.

Thanks to your video we have a good idea of how fun it is.

As Mihals already correctly spotted in the vid, i've recently replaced the sportseats with 996 GT2 seats - and hell yeah they're great. seat position is perfect and even on long rides there is enough comfort... was definitely worth the money

gorgeous seats even to look at
