With good tires Sciroccos are a blast in the snow.
There was this guy who used to be my neighbor long
ago. He used to race 16v Sciroccos on ice. I even read
about him in this book about ice racing. Apparantly
the 16v Scirocco used to be one of the top cars for
this kind of racing. Anyway, this book gave some tips
on driving and I tried them out. It was fun, but that
salt eats cars alive. I really enjoyed that book. I
got it from a public library, and it's gone now and I
can't remember the title...
