stretching its legs

[Bertroex]

Hi all,

I had the engine rebuild after the overheating incident at the 6hr enduro of Mallory park, back in May. It ran sweet as a nut following the rebuild, so I decided to use the 924S as a porsche badged salt gobbler.

What a car though.... I run my cars from November till end of April on wintertyres, and bar a little incident where the nose got stuck into the snow on a steepish slope,

the car has fantastic road manners due to the 50/50 weight distribution, fairly high ride height. Up to approximately 15 inches of snow, the underside of the car will act as a tabogan whilst the wheels provide the traction and it gets through some amazing weather. I did carry some snow chains just in case, but the Michelin Alpin M&S did prove their worth.

Just returned from a good 1600 miles on German, Belgian and french motorways- fantastic engineering. Respect the service schedule and it is a truly chuck-able bit of kit!

Best regards,

Bert

So great to see I'm not the only one willing to take their car out in all weathers []

My 924S doesn't go anywhere near salt, the Volvo steps in as a sacrificial lamb. I use Colway Emjo forest stage rally tyres on the back of the Volvo, i'm not sure if they're legal but i should be able to blag it once.

They're pretty gnarly and about as grippy as you can get. They will chew through anything apart from ice until they contact tarmac and off you go!
