enterprise, northwest territories, canada. about -36 degrees celsius (which is, for all intents and purposes, about -36 degrees fahrenheit). i'd traveled there from nearby fort smith, nwt (in northern terms, nearby is a 3 hour drive) on a mission to see if the waterfall ice on the hay river had formed up yet and perhaps do some ice climbing, only to see this:

fourteen cayennes, panamaras and macans, all blacked out, loaded with germans in full Porsche regalia, heading to Yellowknife in a search for -40. they'd broken one macan already. oddly enough, their support vehicle was a suburban.

Hummm, mine was reading -3F yesterday. It was really hard to start. Drove 15 minutes, stop for 30 minutes, then it did not start :( dead battery. Charge it just enought to start and head back home. I dont know how old is the battery but at least 3 years, so I guest it's time to change it because winter is just starting :)

Have charge it all night and I need to drive 30 minutes tomorow to go skiing, I should be fine

Later all

Of course, its supposed to get back to 80F this weekend. :)

Sorry to rub it in. 82 F on the outside temp gauge, had to use the AC during the day, but after the sun set, top down heaven!

Awesome! Love the homemade ice tires. When I was a kid I used to drive my go kart on a frozen lake near my house, good fun! But cold!

Last930 12-14-2013 11:45 AM

That a Rotax? My kids race Leopard and kt100 yamaha.

Kenny Boxster 12-14-2013 12:03 PM

Bfan, that looks like a blast. Karts are great fun. As for me, I honestly don't think my boxster has ever seen negative temperatures in it's life before.

Bfan 12-14-2013 05:26 PM

Yes it is a Rotax, I only started carting last spring as a way to become a better track driver in a "cheap" way. But I found out it is even more fun than the Boxster with lots of adrenalin and close racing, fighting and pushing. The flip side is that these two strokes involve at least four hours of maintenance work for each hour on the track. But its such a blast that you do it gladly.

I've got your winter right here, buddy :-)

I'm sort of manic about clearing my parking spots... Everyone should keep a camp shovel & bin of snow melt in their frunk :-)

This is getting ridiculous. Got up this morning, the temp was -35C, -49 with the wind chill.

recycledsixtie 01-05-2014 08:44 AM

We are almost as cold as you Mark : -32C which is about -25F and lots of snow.
Supposed to be -6C tomorrow.....http://986forum.com/forums/uploads01...1388943762.jpg

You guys really should consider moving south! Here is me (in front, of course) and Little "t" at WSIR last Sunday - 78F, clear, and sunny!
