Looks a lot like my All4. I have developed a great appreciation for the little bugger in ice and snow. They are very dangerous vehicles 'cause they will make you brave!

Hey Mike! I saw your countryman at work on Tuesday, and then again at the Christmas party that evening.. Then Val said you It was your guys. You'll have to go over west guard if you haven't already. It'll be a blast. I've only driven an all4 once and was quite impressed. Someday I may get one, till then I'll keep enjoying my 03.

Nik

215-55RF17, Bridgestones. Must be a pretty soft compound 'cause I hafta air them up about once a month. This is the first modern era high performance car for me and I am impressed. I was born and raised a SoCal boy so I didn't get up to Bishop many times. But there were lots of twists and turns to play on when I lived in the Bay Area. The Berkeley hills were especially fun.

Hey Nik! Wondered if you where on here, yeah west guard for sure. Haven't had it in the snow yet but looking forward to it!
cjsdad 215-55 17 is what i think i'll go with when I ditch the 205-55 run flats that came with it. They are loud and I like the way the 215-55 fill the wheel well.
Nik I was very happy to hear that you have 360,000 miles on yours, had an oil leak and a code the first two days with it and thought oh ****! But it was all just a connector not fully seated and an drip from the drain plug. She's all good now.

Mike
