I'm sure somewhere in my instruction manual there's a note saying " this model does not function at temperatures above 28°C....."
Personal opinion..it never needs to be this hot.
Ever.
It's mental, and our footy team is having our first return to training tonight as well. Think I might die.

Adding another irritation to the daytrippers. If you are coming and bringing children WATCH THEM. Yet again more have got lost on the beach. Yes they have been found safe and well but it involved police, helicopter going up etc etc. Wish they'd sod off and stay home. Also the behaviour of what would appear to be the majority is appalling!!

We had this weekend pencilled in as a long weekend at the flat back in January. We would have gone down what ever the weather. Got some electrical work I need to do, and want to get some quotes for parquet restoration, and some plastering, along with a bit of walking.
That's out the window, as there is zero point in going when it is that mobbed, or that hot. Added to which, I really cannot see the attraction when it is that busy.

I had no idea till recently that on some cars you can't rotate /swap wheels anymore ?
Maybe your car is the same

I believe I can, however I'm almost certain it's either a dud tyre or different tread

The car came with a continental and Dunlop on rear with Firestone and some budget rubbish on front

Budget tyre got nail do great excuse to get new 2

2 goodyears

Only after investigating Ive noticed the Dunlop and conti have slightly different tread patterns .. which are now the fronts and Dunlop is the one that's diff.. from all the rest and pulls that's way

I'm sure the tyre shop will get it sorted Saturday for me just got to avoid taking hands off wheel and putting foot down lol (which I don't do anyways)

Undertaking feels so good though and is perfectly legal, even though many people think it isn’t.

It might not be illegal but it is highly dangerous, discouraged by the Highway Code and if you cause an accident whilst doing it, they will do you for careless driving or worse .

Just say no kids ?

If someone is sitting in the fast lane doing below the speed limit for ten miles with no other cars around, you’d have to be a terrible driver to make that undertaking dangerous.
I never said anything about it being dangerous, I said it's only legal in certain situations.
