Using a 944 in the snow?

I have no issues driving my car in snow, (not that we get much here anymore) but then I've had no problems driving any car in snow....hell I used to ride my motorbike to work and back in snow too.....if you can't drive safely in snow you shouldn't be driving... I'm talking a few inches btw.. not bloody snowdrifts...lol

Drifting a Torsen 4wd Audi on snow is much more fun than tiptoeing around the boost in a turbo. I rode bikes on snow for 5 winters too, because that was all I had back then.

Funny enough same here, but off road mostly scrambling from the age of 5 believe it or not till probably the age of 23 when I met my wife and she made me give it up as I had no fear 😩

i stI’ll have both my first 50cc scrambler and my Ktm 250 2stroke both of which I often rebuilt the engines and this and chain saws are what made me the petrol head I am today.

I fixes my first chain saw at the age of seven where I replaced the head gasket which was blown and ripped with two layers of cereal carbourd put it all back together and waited for my dad to pull the cord and presto my love for enginiering was born ! 😁

good old days of smelly petrol after school 😊

What did you ride back then Pete? I had Suzuki TS 100, GT 250, GT 550, and Kawasaki KH 400 2 strokes. Then Kawasaki Z1B 900, ZIR 1000, Honda CBX 1000 before my first car. Had loads of bikes since too [:)].

 
nothing big.... my favourite was my Yamaha RD250, biggest I've was a 550, think it was a Kawasaki.. we are talking nearly 40 years ago now...my mind isn't as good as it once was...my father was an ex-biker from the rocker days, evidently I was a regular at the ACE café when only 1, he fitted a sidecar to his BSA Golden Flash when I was born... in his 40's he went back to bikes which was in my teen years and naturally I bought a bike.. moped first at 16.. had a very nice PUCH GPS, black café racer in Lotus colours ..worth some money these days. my wife starting dating me because of that bike.....:)

Same timescale for me. I have a modern 1000 now, but her indoors has never fancied going on any of my bikes :ROFLMAO:.

 
my wife loved riding pillion, we rode up to the north East on the RD....fun days...she would have been in her late teens, very pretty and with a lovely figure...wearing mini skirts as she used to for a trip to the pub would be frowned upon today...I recall her at one time doing knitting while on a ride...back then there were many more bikes on the road.... fun days..:)
