Just saw one of these on the road just now, guy had a nice big smile on him when he blasted off the line at a light. Perfect winter car

It was pretty cool, this morning a random guy in a V70R was videoing the 90 while we were headed north on I-25 B) Also, just crossed 130k on the way home, stuck behind a Merc from FL in the snow lol!!

SOOo jealous of your garage! just wow.

Thanks! The white CQ, stock, was just being stored for a friend while he was doing some other work at his place.

Figured this was cool since I didn't get a good one of 130k :-)

Here is mine, and good thing too. Just wish I would have replaced the suspension before the snow started falling...

Some great rides there. Thats not baker is it?

Last time it snowed here was 1955 and that was 800km north of here.

Winter, what's that?

Nope, white pass. Though I would love to take the 200 up to baker if only just to drive in some snow.

The time has come again. No big changes except new tires.

Who says you can't fit 17's on a D2 S8. ;-)
I've also test fit Fat-5s and they fit fine as well but are tight. Wheel weights could hit if put to far in. Glad to know the Pie-Plates also fit.

Blizzaks on the Touareg (along with chains if it really gets bad; have to carry if I tow a trailer regardless of awd or tires) and Dunlop SP winter sports on the UrS6. CGT still have summer tires but might get driven on nice days.

I took the 200 Sedan into the foothills of Mt. Rainier today just for fun. Yesterday I mounted the snow tires in preparation. I'm always amazed at how well a quattro with proper tires performs in places where cars- or really any wheeled vehicle- shouldn't be. (Most of the tracks on these forest service roads were from snow mobiles.)

In all its glory.

Ready for snow or the zombie apocalypse, whichever comes first.

Snow Toaster is ready to go slideways

Need those steel wheels for Rally URQ - any more around in Edmonton? or would you sell yours on???
Thx

I'm sure there are more around. I've seen them on kijiji a lot. I just put new winter tires on and do like this set up. Sorry but I'm gonna pass on selling.
