cold as ice in germany

[The RS6]

Yesterday evening in Croatia...it was at -11 but I wasn't able to take a picture of it...

I used to be an arctic ranger for the cumpulsory military training, 10 months in Arvidsjaur.

I didn't become a member in the "CLUB -50C", i.e. being outside at that temperature over night, but it was close.

Slept in a tent a close -50C for a night, needless to say we didn't have a guard outside that night...

I prefer :cool2:

A lot of cars are tested in Arvidsjaur, on the frozen lakes.

What about the 'MILE HIGH' club, are you a member of that yet Erik?

damn im soo jelouse your car must run like a bat out of hell I know here in MD where it is getting to be 15-25° and my car is running great just ate up a few cars this week.

Bad news is My turbo and trans is about to blow so upgrade time it is

All of my FI rides run strong through the winter months. When the roads are dry and clear I pull out the Buick and Acura and blast them for a few km's down the main freeway to keep everything lubbed up and the battery charged. Regardless of how nice of an intercooler system you have on the car, the winter temps are unbeatable. Wish I could mimic them during the warmer summer months.

Out of curiosity, what are the signs of dying transmission ?

Just wanted to flick in with something, no pics I'm afraid.

But when we reached Hemsedal in Norway last Sunday the old Audi 80 2.6 had to stand with -25 celcius. Wen't one like a clock!

Resurecting this thread. Have NOT located a power cord to plug the engines block heater in. -30C here tonight and not eager to keep relying on just a strong battery and synthetic to get things going in the morning. Anyone living in cold areas that have "true" winters, can you please chime in and let me know what you do for cold weather starts?

This all sure sounds like Global Warming to me.....not.

Bruce,

Did you hear?

C02 is "dangerous" to your health and must be regulated.



We will never see another RS6 on this soil.

Enjoy your new ride.

Well for you northern hemisphere continentals, us Antipodeans are (as I write this) sitting on the deck in the evening SUMMER sun, sipping a nice glass of red in a balmy 23C, contemplating what to go on the barbie
