My ED30 will likely only see snow when me and 2 mates drive to Ischgl in the Austrian Alps in February, hoping to get it re-mapped to at least stage 1 before then  :happy2:
Ah..... Ischgle...... We go on the 19th, go every year at least once  :happy2:
Have you been before....... Brilliant place

I hope you've got some winter tyres, you are going to need some for Austria, also you'll need snow chains. Don't get caught out :driver:

Never mind the snow, you litterally cannot stand on the road outside ours this morning, black ice all over the shop and cars, vans, 4x4's and tractors sliding everywhere. Quite entertaining stuff just hope nobody gets hurt. :scared:

Saw a bit of snow yesterday, but more worrying was the packed black ice on the roads around here today. I live in a very hilly area and at one brief point lost all control rolling downhill on my mates street.

He was laughing his head off at everyone doing it until it happened in his Disco with chunky M+S tyres also, when he put a rope around a transit that was sliding towards a parked car.
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
