In that pic it had driven to the French alps full to the brim with luggage, people, alcohol, skies and snowboards. It had been driven at and stopped from immense speed, spent a week driving soaking wet skiers around and had done a day trip to Geneva.
After the pic it did another 700 miles home and I've still not washed it yet. It's obscenely dirty.
The tyres are great. The traction even in the snow/ice is immense. I drove through signs advising snow chains on my budget summer tyres with barely a flicker of the ESP light. I'm sure some PS2s will be better but not until the existing rubber has had more wear.
Awesome, awesome car. I think it's close to being the ultimate all rounder.
