I am almost 100% positive it is photoshop. If you go ahead and look at the BMW 3 Series' back above the rear tire, you will notice snow. If this picture happened to be real, the trailer would also have snow somewhere on the metal frame near the front, front/side. Whoever made this picture is pretty good at what they do.

Could be real...looks like the Audi has strange wheels on - I know 'FEED ME' was planning on doing some ice racing this year, it could be his.

Maybe the BMW was also on the ice track, and left the trailer waiting in the sidelines. Not sure how ice racing is done in the US, we tend to leave trailers off here in Northern Europe :) For sure the pic is real, I assume the RS4 has some long spiked ice-racing tyres, that are not road legal. And driving on asfalt will ruin the spikes, so you need the trailer.

Ha ha ha ha this is a cracker... :jump:

I've heard of putting some weight on the rear axle of rear wheel drives on such occasions but this is taking it a too far... :biggrin3:

I'll put money on it being Erik on his ice racing jaunts... He has a BMW 530xd and an RS4 without roof rails.

That would make sense as even zooming into the image I cant see a tail pipe on the BMW... and the 530d has a non chrome downfacing tip.... which would just disapear in a photo like that!

Damn, look at all that snow and ice..... why dont that happen here, must be great just playing and getting to know the car......

Here in Finland we need Lada´s to pull the RS4 out of the snow ;) This happened last saturday when driving on an icetrack and I couldn´t keep my RS4 on a track, no bad damage done.
