With the tall Blizzaks and the torquey diesel at my disposal, I weaved my way around many stalled, slipping, slow SUV's, trucks, making me wonder aloud 'who really has the SUV here?' My friend replied "How disgusted these SUV drivers must feel to be passed by a lowly old VW bus!" An experience to remember. Next? A 6000 mile journey to Oregon and Montana for some snowboarding, in the next month. Wish me luck, and if there are any list-members in that area that want to talk Vanagons or just have a great NW beer, give me a yell! Karl >> Boy those Blizzaks are great, aren't they. I have a set of those on my syncro's also. They run circles around SUV's, especially my quattro. See ya. Michael 87 syncro 87 quattro |
