Porsche 996 Carrera 4 Cabrio (996 610) 2018

|
Winterreise |
|
I kept the 996 in her heated garage during most of the 2017-2018 winter. But then, just when snow was approaching, a failure in one of (otherwise excellent) Vredestein Wintraks on my 4_Matic Mercedes forced me to ask for help at Porsche Italia for a fresh set of winter tyres. Dr Plutino was up to the task and in a short time my 996 was shod with a fresh set of Porsche-spec Pirelli 'Winter' |
 |
|
Deep grooves, soft rubber: that's what I look for in a high-performance winter tire, and Wednesday 28 February the 996 got out of Porsche Italia like this.... |
|
...and not a moment too soon, as the following morning, Thursday 1 March 2018, weather was like this.... |
 |
 |
|
...and then it got worse when, at 5 pm, I drove the 996 out of my hospital's parking lot |
 |
|
That's why I love (well, why we ALL love) 911s; even if it's a Cabrio, just fit it with the right, Porsche-specified equipment and fittings and this car will always be up to any task |
