Scirocco Central

Well at least we get to see what white rims look like on a rising blue chugster, and i think it looks nice btw just a general question to all: if it snows that much and the tempertures are very low isnt that bad for the engine as well as the electronics? I mean wont some things crack due to the cold weather (ie plastic tubes, etc)?

thats why they do winter testing programs before production and full release to market!!!



but yes...white rims on RB is not too bad eh!

But the winter wheels are likely to be Anthracite in colour, in 8x18 size.

I think that R of yours looks nice with white wheels.

Luckily mine was in the garage over night



otherwise it would have been buried under this




and a nice picturesque one

That is pretty much the colour of mine as well!

Having cleared my pile of snow off the Scirocco's roof using watering can and luke warm water, to avoid the paint being scratched. This morning the Scirocco has decided to grow a stubble beard!
-15'C last night and won't be above -10'C today.
Not even going to attempt opening it up until the sun has worked a trick on it.

pics of the fleet yesterday morning, golf door seals were frozen shut, rocco faired better

Feck me its dodgy out there in the MK area. The execs needed their lunch fetching from local M&S. Normally the PA will go get it herself. FD comes out to ask me if I can go in company VW. I said I'll go if I have the MDs 525D with recently fitted M+S spec tyres as he needs to drive to Germany for Xmas.

Still took us an hour to do a round trip that normally takes 15mins. Roads were just shocking. Not gritted and not ploughed. Gotta say even the Mud & Snow were slipping about.

Think they are a more all season type tyre rather than a proper winter tyre like the vredestein wintrac.

The R made it home at least.

this is what i like about a candy white. i can have pure white in the summer and pewter grey in winter, with magnolia blended in

I knew it, your all just closet Candy White Fans

Ha ha. Brilliant

I work with a guy who has a 330d coupe. He hasn't used it for over 3 weeks as he can't get it along the 1/2 mile lane from his house to the main road

Slob of a car.

Am I pointing down the drive yet??

We had a little covering here overnight, think there's more on the way as well.

I hope not, got the vodka burried in snow in the back garden - beats keeping it in the fridge!

you been drawing on your bonnet lol

I know what you mean Scott, thing is the car must have been stood a good 4/5 hours before it started snowing. I would have thought the engine would have been well and truly cold.
