It's winter tyre change day Friday for me, so Thursday is my last day of being unrestricted in terms of speed limits.



Can I get a sympathetic Aaaaaah up in here (I'm guessing no ).

...and just in time too. There's 1 metre (3 feet) of snow predicted for tomorrow just 50 miles south of here. Not sure how much we'll see of that.

Damn I miss Bavaria!

I always knew about the winter tire laws - never knew there was a speed restriction though.

Maybe its because you are using dedicated winter tires while I used M+S rated tires.....

Sympathy?!?!?! More like envy and hate For those of us restricted to a lowly 65 (unless you live in Montana on a nice day) we would love ONE unrestricted day a year.

I'd quite like some SoCal weather too. It'd be nice to not have to clean my car every 3 weeks. That drive-thru costs a whole ?5 you know. If Conan wasn't lying the other night, he said it hadn't rained in L.A. since May.

In SoCal we actually have to wash pretty regularly, true it hasn't rained (until yesterday) since May, but the level of dust is amazing. It's a big reason why I will not own a black or dark colored car anymore - it looks brown after 3 days. I'll take a little more weather for even RELAXED speed restrictions.
