Ah, that other side. :-) Don't worry, the 'T' tires didn't blow up instantly over 190. :-) (Maybe they will in the movies) Guess doing over 190 at high temperatures with full load for a long period of time would not be advisable. But under light load at lowish temperatures they should be OK for a while. But as I was not out to test that theory and liked to be on the safe and legal side, I slowed down to 160, which suddenly seemed rather slow. > Dave S.....

So far only spotted a few stationary ones on alfa days myself. -- Stef (remove caps, dashes and .invalid from e-mail address to reply by mail) If you think before you speak the other guy gets his joke in first. |

I wonder if > he was doing the school run. Nah, seems a bit unlikely. ) I saw my first one on the road on the M20 a couple of months ago...it sounded absolutely stunning when he put his foot down! :-) I also had the chance to have a look round a Spider at Motoexpo in London...if only I could win the lottery!! http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u.../P1000052b.jpg http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u.../P1000051b.jpg http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/u.../P1000053b.jpg Regards Ross |
