Happy New Year, everbody. Safe driving, and remember, "slow in, fast out"...
We've more snow this year than the past years here in Switzerland, so that I had to resort to switching to winter tires and the old Porsche 17" wheels, since I drive my car daily. Anxiously awaiting Spring and my RS Speedline 18" wheels...

Happy New Year to all and thanks for all the priceless help. A few photos I took today and some I dug up of my old car (a real beast which u may not be familiar with in the states?)

as it wasn't a daily driver. When they needed changing during a routine service I was informed by the official TVR dealership that they no longer stocked the Michelins and indeed weren't allowed to stock them or put them on the car (I think there had been quite a few wet weather incidents) and standard equipment was now the Bridgestones. I went with those out of curiosity more than anything else and they were indeed much much better in the wet (car started understeering in the wet!!! which is an unheard of TVR trait..) but not nearly as good as the Michelins in the dry and didn't look as good either (though they were 235's there's no way they had the same contact patch as the 235 Michelins which were much squarer and therefore looked a lot fatter from behind...) Anyway...Totally different animal from the 993tt!!
