matt350z Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi Everyone, Well, I've been looking to swap cars for a few months, and on Saturday my TT finally went in exchange for a 2005 350z Roadster. Freezing cold but sunny, so drove most of the 40 miles home with the roof down. Family commitments yesterday, needing 4 seats, so the 350 had to stay at home. Got up this morning to a good covering of snow (yes I know it was forecast but how often do they get it right) and a very new driving experience. Had to do a 3 point turn on the front lawn, as in reverse I couldn't get any grip on the drive, and then crawled the 4 miles to work in 1st and 2nd, local council obviously trusts weather forecasters as much as me, as not a gritted road in sight. All this being said would I have swapped that tail twitchy half hour drive for the sure footed Quattro? Not a chance. Saturday just gave me too much to look forward too, roll on the summer Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi and Nothing like a bit of snow for a steep learning curve into rear wheel drive. Take it easy and you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
