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 :drive: 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...

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

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.

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.)

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.
