I've found this fantastic red wine called Graham Beck Shiraz Viognier, South African Stuff. The missus is ill, so she's in bed and I really hate the fact that I have to finish her half of the bottle. Oh Dear. :oops:

This thread needs to be upped. 8)
I'm sitting here in front of the computer screen and the tele is showing a hideous show where celebs are dancing. Kids and wife are glued in the TV-sofa in front of it. Unfortunately my bar cabinet is empty. And I'm alone. Support me please. :P

I've got Contis on the front of mine and IMHO they are useless!! Had some brand i'd never heard of before on there which gripped better, wet or dry. The Contis have given me far too many brown trouser moments and i can't wait to get Pirelli P6000s on all round!! Got just one so far and refurbed the...

Yes studded tyres have the disadvantage of the studs might come loose, actually if you look at an old studded tyre many of the studs are missing. Most of the cracked windshields are a result of loose studs. The grip is so much better on snow and ice so it's really a must. Plus here in Sweden we must...

Welcome Kari, this is a true fountain of knowledge and there are such friendly people here. I live in Sweden, Stockholm to be precise and we've had -23c as worst this season. So Only -24 c is pretty cold. :D

I hade P6000 on my TI and they were terrible. I swapped for Eagle NCT and the car was transformed. Now, I'm not talking around the track but as a day to day driver. Changeing lane on the motorway was so much different. I must admit I'm not sure what I got for the 820, but I believe they were Falken ...

Painted the lower part black? I'm still not convinced it doesn't look better in gold. :P I am not sure either. Although it does look a little strange having black sections (side trims) and then colour coded on the bumper. Perhaps colour coded all over? I wanted to have the car original thou , and o...

I had the great pleasure of sharing a bottle of Glenmorangie "The Lasanta" with my father on Christmas Eve, and it was absolutely marvellous aswell. But it's not cheap. :oops:
