Re: ...calling Stewart Mann
That's quite a difference from last week!
Today was about 16C. My 1hr commute this morning was made a bit more interesting by thunderstorms, lightning and a good downpour (i can feel it...summers coming!). The M42 Car Park never looked so good! |

Re: ...calling Stewart Mann
Yeh, i did notice that about the roads when i was there. I saw on the news a few weeks ago a Flatbed going into a bathtub sized pothole! That would take some beating!
I definitely wouldn't have an expensive vehicle there...unless it was a 4X4. Dread to think what the long term effects would be on vehicle suspensions with the Winnipeg potholes. They'd be better off leaving the roads as dirt tracks until they invent a road surface that can withstand extreme cold/hot weather patterns. ....come to think of it, doesn't concrete handle extremes better than tarmac? .....cue road engineer.... |

I nearly brought a Morgan over with me - I'm glad I didnt it would have been shaken to bits. Its a shame you cant get citroens here! |
Re: ...calling Stewart Mann
You should thank your lucky stars you haven't got Citroens.
From what i remember, Citroens did have good suspensions, it was the rest of it that was crap! |
