My first car 1988 MB 200D in winter drifting
- I bought it just for the first winter when I got my drivers licence. Even with 72bhp there is lots of fun in winter. I still have it because I have no time to finish this 92' 300CE 5speed...

My 944 is my winter beater
My 944 is my winter beater. I've been using my 1984 944 for my winter transportation since 2000. Just replaced my Dunlops... I'm ready to go.

My dad did most of the welding.. after doing it every weekend for about 2 months, we got it done. here's a few more pictures....
ok.. have to show off a little.

yieldsign2, great pics! Looks like youre using it just as you should be
Do you ever use the low range gearbox? Its pretty nifty. Sadly, I havent really taken my Disco II offroading, perhaps a couple years down the line when we get another car, I'll have all the fun I want in it
