Default Used my Porsche as a snowmobile today

the last two days we had huge snowfall in the eastern part of switzerland. because we got so much snow we had a lot of traffic jams and in some parts public transportation broke down. most of the cars were driving very very slow...

with more or less 10-20cm of snow on the street it was time to take out the porsche and check out how it handles in these conditions. i've driven it in snow before but then we didn't had as much snow as we have now.

i've started with slow driving to see how it handles in these conditions. when stopped the car i had to leave in 2nd gear then in 1st the wheels were spinning all the time. after a few minutes driving and getting used to the conditions i've raised speed and startet to go around corners sideways. 5 minutes later i've entered a small village. sadly the car turned so much that i went backwards.... after a short grip to the handbrake and a short push on the gaspedal i drove forward again.

after 1.5 hours of driving around i have to say it's easy to go around sidways in corners in this conditions with a speed from 30-60 km/h, if you go faster it's going tricky and needs more practicing. but it was biiiiiiig fun!!!

here some pics after action:





i've also tried to shoot some vids from inside but it was very difficult to drive with one hand sidways and hold the cam with the other....

hope you'll enjoy my little report and pics
