Re: audi and kaipola ski jump advertisiement - climbing an icy hill
Steve,
Nice ad, but that's just it, advertising... How many people need/have
to do that in a car? My old landie could probably do it too (slower
tho') No tires? I reckon the rim sides with the asphalt/macadam? after
having worn down in the first few metres, would be probably be more
effective than spikes. I wouldn't advocate doing this yourself, unless
you were desperate to get to the top, or if you had a spare set of
rims...
PS I live in Switzerland, 4x4 is useful!... but, braking is like any
other car... Spikes are allowed here, but you are limited to 80kmh. My
best car ever on the snow was my '69 Beetle equiped with snow tyres.

The article claims "back then and this time, both Audi models drove up
the ski jump under their own power; they were not pulled." I believe it;
I just don't see any use for being able to climb ski jumps in first gear
with special tires.

If John McCain gets the 2008 Republican Presidential nomination,
my vote for President will be a write-in for Jiang Zemin.
