drsmith...my daughter and her husband live in Seattle. My son-in-law is from England (Staffordshire). He has commented on the shitty drivers in Seattle. I've been going to Seattle a couple of times a year for the last seven years and have had two screaming matches with other drivers over their atrocious driving. I may be 50-something with Idaho license plates but I certainly am not a country bumpkin and can keep up with the best of them, not to mention my 10 years of life on the streets of San Francisco.

We are expecting between 6-12 inches today and as long as the road stays plowed I will drive the TT to work tomorrow.

As for you guys in VT...have fun in the snow if you can and "think spring".

 

Think spring? I'm just getting amped up for the snow!

Got some totally awesome Dynastar Contact 9's recently, should be getting some Lange Fluid 80's or 90's soon (depending on budget), Hella 500 driving lights for the TT as well. Then I'll show you how to drive a mountain in the snow. Weather advisories like Random posted are a calling for a bunch of guys to go drive the steepest, tallest mountain road in the snow, hillclimb style. Guys spaced out with radios to let drivers know when theres 'normal' traffic (its an open road, aka, not closed course), but otherwise, its hammer it up and down the mountain.

Mike, if youre not busy and you dare to brave the snow, Im at Rennline all afternoon working. Have vagcom. Gimme a call if you want.

Heres the mountain we'll be driving... summer time vids...

Looks more exciting going the opposite way, need to replace vid with that

 

word, bird. Just got home from work myself. I am hoping it is something simple and cheap for once. :-P Have fun at the hill climb, the warm weather shots are making me pien for summer and spring already. Thoose twisties are definitely fun, especially without a roof :-) I may run back in to winooski. PM me your #, I have anew phone with like 4% of my contacts in it, they couldnt pull the old ones off, yet another drain on finances :-P

 

LOL

Oh crap...my brain is still in Miata mode.

Going to check out those vids tonight.
