Title: What to do?
Post by: kcl on 05 March 2011, 20:06:20
Quite near to the "magic" 500 post limit... :-X Wondered if I should post "just something" to "anywhere" to reach the 500. Then decided not to, I'd look stupid (who cares...  ;D ;)) Still, quite proud of this achievement, I've been able to post 500 messages (every one with something to say) in foreign language! You guys try the same in Finnish  :D  :D :D :D

I can't spell in English, either. ;) ;D ;D ;D ;D

Just looked up Riihimaki on the Finnish Transport Agency site and I can see that you are currently experiencing a temperature of -2.2c, but at least it's dry. There! That will save you looking out of the window!!  ;) ;D

Chains are illegal for road travel, chains are just for emergencies so it's winter tyres. Most people prefer the studs, some use the studless ones  :y You learn to live with ice and snow. I'm using Nokian Hakkapeliitta http://www.nokiantyres.com/tyre?id=12091290&group=1.01&name=Nokian+Hakkapeliitta+7 Not cheap but the best  :y

Those, or similar Contitech/Viking/Michelin/any known brand are the most common here during the winter. Our law says the tyres must be with M+S stamp (no, no tthe US m+s) during November...April or something...
