As for the MB meet, we kind of just did that, actually. About a week ago a bunch of us drove out to Whytecliff along Marine Drive and then came back on the Upper Levels. A drive up to Squamish/Whistler would be fantastic, but as Supafly says, the weather would have to be pretty darn predictable for any of us to risk it...unless you don't mind us driving other cars better suited to the snowy climate.
Ya I noticed you just had a drive, and ya I was thinking when weather is good. Maybe in the new year sometime. I know a few guys that want to come out.

Okay, I've put the snow tires on the C63. It's not quite as steady as the S4, but it's not too bad.

It's better than expected, actually. These are my snow tires from last winter, so they're not brand new, but there's still a lot of treadlife on them. There's a bit of sliding around in icy situations, but on snow, it's great.

Gentle on that throttle though...
