    As Jeremy Clarkson would say: Beetles are good in the snow.

    Somehow...it looks good in the snow. Very capable and natural. You see pictures of Porsches, at the beach or on a winding road, not driving in heavy snow...I like it. Oh yeah...we got clobbered with about a foot of snow also, this weekend. Be Safe.

    Ciao...Paolo

    Took the 308 out for an extended spin. Took a while until everything was warmed up again, but eventually it started to feel just right: Clicking through the gears (including 2nd), nice throttle pickup on the gas, good brakes, the occasional bang from the exhaust while bleeping it for the downshift. Crisp steering, low seating position, it felt great after weeks of driving the Toyota whooshmobile. In fact I drove zig zags on the straights, just to feel the wheels catching the car. Then the ultimate fun of thundering up a LSD ramp at full blast. I missed that.

    I was also out in the 328 today. Took a quick spin around town and had to do some fast corners for that tire-grab, G-force feeling. Nothing but smiles!!

    Hey Townshend,

    Good restuarant, but if you want the same menu at half the price go next door to Frontera grill. Same owner(Rick Bayless) but he just puts down white linen table clothes at the other place. Same exact menu.

    Menu is not the same,however at Topolobampo you can order most dishes from Frontera but not the other way.
    Also,you can make reservations there and not at the other (unless your party is more then 5)
