EDIT - My speedster
 
after mounting the harnesses, I had to go for a test...I finally ended on the small roads around the lake of Zurich. The view was really cool with the snow, but not better than my speedy... 8)

Ahhh -- the great little Chevy roadster out in the wirld :) ;)

I'm curious, do you use the speedster often? I suppose it's not your everyday car, is it?

Is it the 2.0T or the 2.2?

Superb car btw. Light and fun!

It's basically the Lotus Elise chassis so RWD. A true drivers car!

Oh man, go-cart like machine on snowy roads :love: If its your daily car than you have balls, just enering the car with roof on is a nice physical excersise, not talking about getting out :)

Wow, driving a Opel Speedster on snowy roads. You're one brave soul! 8)

Surely, better a tight responsive car than some lumbering RWD SUV (are we slipping? who knows, cant feel it, oh we're pointing the other way, hwo did that happen etc) :lol:

Very nice pictures Hamlet, it's always a pleasure for me to see your street legal Go-Kart with the beautiful landscape of Switzerland for background. :D

Driving with his summer rims set in winter is the the dream of several Quebecers. But, I'm surprised to see all that snow, because there's much more snow than I thought in Zurich surroundings.

Hahah, you mean the roof is pointing the wrong way? :lol:

@ all => Yes, this is my everyday's car!! and yes it is quite hot to drive on the cold and snowy roads. To help me a bit, I fitted winter tires on the rear wheels but not on the front ones because of the funny size.

@ 1zippo1 => it is a "simple" 2.2L but for my driving skills I must say that the 147cv for the 850kg are largely enough to scare me in some cases... :roll:

@ Carrera_GTcrazy => no pb for the ride, you are welcome...only if you bring with you your top camera to make some pics! :wink:

@ Schwalbe => Yeh man, It snowed the last days and we've got a lot everywhere. It is also pretty cold at that time but as you can see I continue my go-kart training to gain a few seconds next time we go racing in Montreal... :twisted: :wink:

That's really brave to use it as a daily driver, certainly concerning the winter conditions in the Alps. Anyway nice pics!
