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!

The roads here are really bad...Always is after the snow melts. It just leaves 6 months worth of grit everywhere. Then there's the grand canyon size potholes on every corner. Ahh spring is here

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....

No...

Alot of roads are concrete - but they still fall apart!

with the subsidance that occurs in Winnipeg the pads of concrete get a bit uneven - there are some impressive ruts and cracks on academy at the moment.

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!

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!

I could take that personally, my great, great uncle Andre was very proud of his tin snail
