I raise with my afternoon:

Ppl can't drive, slammed brakes when drove to snowfall and then 95kph->40kph, nothing can't beat stupidity of man.

I cruise my normal 88kph without any trouble, just those slow blokes stopped me from enjoying proper driving.

Not much, but at least it was nearly worth having fitted snow tyres in the autumn ...

It conked out on the way back to Bonn in a snowstorm in the Hunsrück mountains :-( A squirt of WD40 and a wobble on all the plugs did the trick, but I've ordered new leads / plugs / dizzy cap / rotor arm just in case ...
