That's proper - it was like that up through Glendevon and on towards Crieff last Christmas when we went to visit my grandparents in Comrie. Beautiful.

Meant to say after your first vid - I love your grumpy satnav :thumbsup:

I want a smiley playing a drum set - couple of snare smacks and a symbol ending for that would've been perfect

I sh*t thee not ......... this is the main road Norway/Sweden and the average speed these guys are driving is 45 mph ....... trucks included.
These are the conditions that Winter tires are made for ......

So the new thread on winters has prompted this post - temps have been heading back up here, and my car's been getting a little skittish on my winters as it's too warm for them (forecast is 16 degrees here tomorrow :o )... Anyone thinking of changing back yet, or do you reckon we're not out the woods yet ? Is it worth keeping them on for another month or so whilst the weather is pretty wet ? Just interested as it's my first time going post-op :P

Bing, mine's been feeling a little floaty lately - warmer and damp. Part of my problem is the geo setup - a lot of negative camber, they didn't feel this skittish last year. Think I'll switch back any day now, or after my holiday.

I don't know the science of the tyres, but I suspect putting the power down when it's a little warmer will accelerate the wear, so while they are still on and it's warmer I try and be a little lighter on the throttle.

Close to putting my normal wheels back on the wife's car, I can't remember the last journey we did were it was under 7 degrees up here in Scotland.

I changed backlast night. Decided summers would be more appropriate for this weekend's forum drive given the forecast temps. Of course, last year I swapped back to summers and it promptly snowed within the week, so what do I know :lol:
