OK I've posted this pic before in another thread but it just seemed the perfect shot for this thread hehehe!
I'm pretty sure it's at a Porsche winter 4camp.

Boys will be boys.

 

Ok...this is !

1. What's the driver (you??) trying to prevent?
2. How/who took this picture??

It's so random and natural reaction caught in this pic,..it's amazing

 

No, not me... and by the looks of it, a good thing it's not.
Just something I found floating around on the internet, seemed like a perfect fit on this thread.

Mind you I'm pretty sure that my facial expressions looked like that last winter when we made a figure 8 track on a frozen lake (surrounded by 2 to 3 feet of snow).

Just one of those images... every time I see this it cracks me up, I mean just look at the expressions and body language hehehehe.

The real fun thing about it is that no humans (or Porsche's) were hurt in the process, it will however scare the crap out of you when it's actually happening... I mean... for some guys... not me... just a bit of fun with throttle steering...

 

Trunk full and every usable space. Who needs a bigger car?

 

right on!!

 

now that is a REAL DD!!! also +1 on the carseat, i'll be dropping off my daughter to grammar school every day starting next fall.

this thread also helped reinforce my decision not to get the c4s-- i could have gone either way, but in the end i wanted to stick with the rwd experience. now i dont feel like i sacrificed too much in inclement weather. naturally, always better to have awd in bad conditions, and the 4 has other advantages/disadvantages, but i'm confident now that with alpins on, i should be able to handle even the 'worst' conditions in my part of the country(which has relatively mild winters).

 

my take is: i think they just saw the back of a panamera! just kidding, to each his own.

 

That pic is PRICELESS! Am LOL!!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!!!

 

Now here's a Porsche really being driven in the snow!

 

Are you guys running 19" or 20" with snows?

 

20" factory. Really limits the winter tire choice but works fine.

 

It started snowing about mid day here and I took the car out to run some errands. I am using Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 on my 20 inch Carrera Classics. With less than an inch of snow on the roads, I was surprised how often the traction control kicked in. You have to be very muted in terms of driving style or the **** end will fishtail.

In the name of research for my 991 bretheren, I found some quiet roads and open parking lots and proceeded to test the grip of the winter tyres. I easily got the tail out on corners by blipping the throttle and going into a controlled slide with a little bit of opposite lock to keep it on course.

This is my first experience of sliding a Porsche around on winter tyres. Can anyone tell me whether I am smoking a special blend of horse dung or whether it is this easy to break grip on a 911 with winter tyres on.

 

wow fun...I wish we had an inch or two here! I wanted to play with it a bit in the lowlands before heading up a mountain in the beast, but the way things are going I might have to go hunt for snow to have a little fun. What a great way to experience the car handling and learn how to compensate for tail wag at lower, safer speeds! I'm able to break the rear out in the rain fairly easily if I forget I'm in Sport mode in a tight corner, also, btw.

 

that is so many kinds of awesome thx Haku!

 

Ahhh, you are driving a 400 HP rear wheel drive car in the snow. Yes, it is easy to let it hang out. With a delicate right foot, it is a very easy car to live with in the snow.
