Post by Sapper-FIN » Mon Apr 11, 2005 12:52 pm

I just changed summer tyres in my ride... man, that sux! changing those tyres, i mean... And of course it doesn´t help, if you turn those tyre bolts into wrong direction, when trying to open them... i managed to got one bolt pretty tight, alright... :roll:

With my luck, it starts to snow again tomorrow, so i have to change those snow tyres back....

Why cant we just have 12 months of summer.... damn you central europeans , californians and texans...

here in Tennessee (somewhat central USA) it is usually (since about fifteen years ago anyway) somewhat spring time the latter part of Feb. but this year, it stayed cold until just a week or two ago... whew! glad its finally spring now. i hate the type of cold weather we normally get... wet, drizzily, dripping, but biting.

on another note. why do you Euro guys insist on calling them tyres? everyone knows the correct spelling is TIRES! ga!

:lol:

:lol:

salute!

2.5 feet of snow yesterday in Denver, Colorado!! :shock: :p

Rained a bit here, with a lot of thunder and lightning. Knocked the power out for a bit. Hence my unannounced departure from the fun. :(

Been doing some yard work. Should I mow tonight to get rid of the old grass? :-k No, because a snow storm is coming tonight (well ok 10-15 centimeters). :?

Winter tires are replaced this weekend for all-seasons. But who can afford the gasoline? It peaks around $1.00 for 1 litre here in Canada. What's the cost in your countries mates?

Ours is running $2.19USD per gallon...

I don't feel so bad now that I see what you guys are getting GOUGED for. How much of that is for taxes?

I think our taxes are somewhere around 20cents a gallon.
