Not sure, but it might be 1,9 tdi. Diesel that's for sure. Folk overtook me in straight uphill, then held me up. I was way faster in corners. Hope you'll see and also enjoy it.

Those roads look awesome! But lol yous are crazy racing in the snow :nerv: Out of curiosity what have you done to your ek3 engine wise? ;)
 
My ek3 is bone stock. Just modified the exhaust, but even the manifold is stock. (yet)
I know these roads pretty well. Even in sunshine, in rain, in snow I go a quick run on the hill, because I really love it, and it is a great fun to drive there. Also I have toyo snowprox s942 tyres, which I think good. But don't worry, I take care of my little honda, won't get hurt :) Also if you go higher, there is no rail, just snow to on the side of the road, so you don't have to worry if you slide off.
 
to be fair thats a bit silly racing on public roads in them conditions,and you dont no if youll crash or not doesnt matter how well you no a road the slightest thing can send you into a hedge like a few stones on road,oil s***** etc lol
 
Lool crazy man!
Last friday while doing some mountain roads a guy also in a A4 thought that I was racing him and got into mad driving in the middle of the mountain lool
Was fun though, there was no traffic!
 
To be honest I was expecting more empathy. :( It was not a race, I was just pushing him down, as I said he was driving well under my optimal speed and way in my limits. As you can see I never even slide a little bit into the opposite lane not like the audi. Believe me it was far from dangerous. :);)
 
Btw, last year or so, I read an article about two subbies pulling some medic out from the snow, and in that they mentioned that people in the UK don't really use winter tyres. What's the truth?
 
yup we dont use snow tyres in Scotland. waste of money as we dont get that much
 
I also want snow here... I bought a new set of winter tyres for 300 € and till now there's no use for them :angry2:

But your video remembers me to the last two winters. In 2009/2010s winters i went out with my little fiesta to drive ralley... till the engine blows up :blabla::D
And last year with my winter mazda 323F GT nearly every corner was a drift corner :dance:

This year... Christmas +10°C, no snow, just rain :mad:
 
Ehh, I just don't get it. I can't say it any different, that this was not a reckless and/or risky driving. Tyres are pretty good in snow, you can control the car just the way you want. Anyone who drives a little in snow can go safely at a normal speed. Let me explain. When you drive on a hill in summer, having great fun, but not going with 120-130 km/h just a pleasant 70-80 but still fun. Then some dude comes with a stronger car and overtakes you in a straight, then going too slow in corners, that he kills the fun of driving. You obviously weren't going too fast, but comparing to the the guy you are too fast. That happened here, too. I wanted to drive in my own rhythm but he didn't let it. Just imagine the example I mentioned before in good, dry condition. It's the same in the summer, I drive on my rs-2s, which are definitely better than the most tyres--->I can go faster then others, but you wouldn't say it's risky and reckless. If you know what you and your car are capable of, then you can get it out without endangering others. Watch again, you can see I'm slowing every time someone is coming towards me, and watch the audi how instable it is the whole time. That's the difference, I was doing a regular driving, even it is faster than his.
I'm glad btw that Wiskimike got my point.

I stand corrected dude, didnt mean it like that, but your explanation is understandle and i know where you coming from.
 
Whats with the comments ?

He obviously knows the road and his car well plus a fair bit more grip with winter tyres so its nothing different then going for a blast on your favourite road in summer time.

:nice:
 
lol I hate those guys who go past in the straights stupid fast then the second in gets a little twisty they decide to go slow, making you stuck behind them the whole time, but when you find a gap and overtake the mother****** he/ or she starts giving you agro! don't worry man I know exactly how you feel =].
 
Yeah :) It wasn't that bad, After we overtook the white opel, there's a junction where I turned right and he went straight towards, so I could enjoy the rest of the mountain ride :)
Kaks ek9rx: Don't worry, I get your point, I was just trying to make it clear for everyone :)
