Sorry, sounded like you were on a fishing expedition so you could have a go.

Sobanek

That's how it went down pretty much







Sorry about my Paint skills.

There pretty good mspaint skills as far as they go. Driving a big rig like that though in poor visibility you need eyes in you're hole :pac:.

Yeah but you'd hope you'd remember I just overtook two cars a second ago and I can't see them now....I wonder where they went. Ah sure they must have disappeared.

Hal1

They should have less time allowed driving in poor conditions, and more frequent rest stops.

Kopparberg Strawberry and Lime

Probably a blind spot issue i imaging.... definitely not out to crush someone


Im glad i dont have my car today.... those jinyu and other crappy chinese tyres would be giving me brown trousers !

Will be investing in dunlops over the next few weeks !

I got Goodyear tyres at 60 a piece and they had A rating for wet grip and they seem to do the job well so far.

yeah thats not bad... your car would be 195/65/15 so thats a good fair price

mine are 205/55/16 and im able to get them at 85 each + tracking for free with an aircon top up.

love haggling with fast fit !

GvidoR

Yeah, mine are indeed 195/65/R15. I ordered them from www.oponeo.ie

Got them fitted in a tyre place for €10 each.

id actually save more with the deal im getting at fast fit than the prices there.

but then again normally the price for a goodyear or bridgestone 205/55/16 is about 95euro a corner

That's strange, the picture fits on my laptop screen perfectly and I can zoom in if I want to. What browser are you using?

Crome. resolution of 1920x1080.

.... Got drowned just running for the car.

Heated leather seats are a godsend. That, and the previous owner had the head on him to put good tyres on the back so it just didn't give a **** about the rain. With a little spinning furnace under the bonnet pumping raw heat into the cabin

Was driving a 2011 520d M today

Can't ever imagine owning one, it was an automatic, the seats were horrible, and it was a downright unpleasant experience

It was a thoroughly unpleasant ultimate driving experience tbh

Overloaded with technology

At least I didn't damage it, I was just using it out of necessity, but couldn't even figure out how to adjust the seats

It was me indeed !

The 2.4d would also be good.

That one is missing the sunroof though and the interior is a bit icky so I passed on that the other day. But 4k is a bargain for that car !

The xc70 part is better as is AWD s also

Anyone know someone with a VW/Audi MK4 (golf) based car interested in an R32 steering wheel? I have mine up for sale.

GvidoR

I'm interested, as long as I can afford it. :P

tossy

300 euro is the price (steering wheel and airbag), the are a discontinued part.
