Thats it for now I guess. Just wanted to intoduce myself and say hello

You guys aren't scared of a little snow are you? I drove my 7 for two winters w/ no problems at all, hell the last one I didn't even have snow tires. Just make sure a cop doesn't see u fishtail, care required tickets aren't cheap. Mines in the garage still but hopefully will have the s5 in by spring.

Well my tires are still OEM so after 42k miles or so they are very very bald almost started hydroplaning a few times last night in the rain, so I don't think snow will be much nicer to me. Any ways I need some new snow tires prolly with some lugs for the rear.

I think it would be fun to do it in the fall or winter though just a lil easier and not as cold to do it in the fall

Speaking of snow I have some snow tires for the 14 inch rims, two brand new with studs, never used, and two more with only a winter of use, even wear lots of tread.

Just got lucky, my n/a blew its motor a few months back, just happened to stumble across one of the only other 7's in bis, red 1990 TII. Going to buy it for sure, bring the collection up to 3. So if you guys are still thinking of having a get together I'll have one running to make it.
