Since we have no snow at all there's not salt on the street as well. For the kids it's sad because white Christmas is definitely way more cooler. So when i woke up this morning



i thought it might be cool to take the GT3 out for an x-mas run. i have winter tires mounted so grip shouldn't be a problem with the actual temperatures.




hell yeah that was big fun. almost empty roads in the mountains nearby - it's really cool to drive it all year long.

happy x-mas guys

 

Looks like a nice day to take out the GT3. She sure is menacing looking when wearing black.

 

Looks like fun. I took my 2010 out too

 

The first photo of the sky is spectacular. Your car looks great with the silver wheels.

 

Hey Alan. Can you post a few pics of the 2010 just sold? How many miles does it have?

 

I'll post some photos later this evening. The milage was about 14,500.

 

Awesome first pic OP.

Here's pic of my 997.2 GT3 which I stupidly sold!

 

Alan, PM sent!

 

2010 GT3 Photos

 

Haku,

Did you used to run your 997.2 GT3 in the winter? I have a 2015 C4 GTS on order, but am just drawn to the GT3. But, I need a daily driver and in Canada, that means running it in the winter. I have heard of some people running some in the winter to the south of me (still with snow), but not sure about doing it with the GT3.

 

We get very few snow days where I live, maybe 5 or 6 a year. So I did drive it all year but to be fair I'd leave it in the garage when the weather was too cold or very wet. That said, I do know of folks who are running their gt3 through winter up north. Winter tyres etc would be mandatory.

 

I drove my 996 Turbo also all year long in almost every condition. i also went snowboarding with it. it was big fun to pass all the cars which had to mount snow chains on their cars because of the snow - AWD rules :-)

i often hear that it's not recommended to drive the GT3 in snow because of the missing undercoat... over here the often put tons of salt on the streets. during that time i'll not drive my GT3. But if it's only snow i can't see a problem..

What are your thoughts about that?

 

Some more pics from that day





Meanwhile we've got 40cms of snow - so perfect time for a last drive in the dry :-)
