Well now Cat and Yammie are working together...best of both...I've been riding Cats since 1971...I've ridden exactly where your pic was taken when I was back there in the mid 70's....Sad snow state out here in WNY right now

you got me buy three years Jeff, I started in '74, ridden pretty much everything a lot of which is no longer in production. I will say the Polaris 'wedge' chassis of the nineties were my favorite though, dependable and easy to work on. While I enjoy my current four stroke Cat, their QC still sucks, as well as their clutching. The Yammie / Cat arrangement is great, I suspect my next sled will be the Viper…..best of both worlds, Yammie motor and clutching / Cat chassis.

here's another 'Winter Lovers' shot from my favorite playground…..Moosehead Lake, Maine.

Wow..that's some awesome looking snow for sledding...I was surprised our club meeting was as upbeat as it was today...My HP never gets above 150 so stock clutching works fine for me...no lake running out here and speed is limited to 55 on the trails....Cats rule

I know of the Audi TT but was unaware that Porsche made one also.

Looks like I'll be waiting until next Saturday as my work schedule doesn't allow picking it up next week. If the anticipation doesn't kill me first.

Worst winter in WI I can ever remember. Don't think we've gone more than a day or two up here without snow!
A long winter in New England. 2.5 months

Roads clear again today in the Twin Cities, MN.

Except that one shady spot that still had some ice and frost. The E-Diff kept me from getting too sideways.
