Quote from: Ardent on December 28, 2020, 15:37With you on that. Just observations as they appear.

Nowhere exploring the limits.
I have no desire to admire the sky from the comfort of a ditch.


Generally speaking, if you put it in a ditch you'll be admiring the bottom of the dtich, roof up or down 🤓
:))
I know it would spoil your day, that's for sure.
Right now. Road conditions here are my least favorite. That greasy slimy neither one thing or the other. I feel happier, when they are fully wet.

Even just reversing off the drive, or returning home and slowly maneuvering. The changes in level between road, kerb and pavement. These tyres behave differently.
Had mentioned before (on here or privately) and got torn to bits. But the one thing that is unmistakable. They are more comfortable than the worn out tyres they replaced.
I hear you re the fully wet, I'm the same, I've always got a massive monkey on my back if we set off for a day of fun and it's a bit greasy, especially if I'm trying to keep up with Stew...

My biggest fear is going off on a bend, nose first, when I run out of talent.

Just more likely to be intentionally explored with an MR than with a Bavarian wagon.
It least for mé appearing as more likely.
For mé the choice for the mid engine concept over the MX to Barchetta and host of smallish FF 2+2s in between was for thís reason.

For that playful part it is not necessary to have high grip rubber. As long as it is predictable and somewhat progressive in behavior the fun is much the same. It doés become an issue at braking. Good grip for braking is imo a requirement for the playful bit.

Over hére by the way it is more rocky wall/ravine than ditch ;-)

You must miss the ditches coming from the world capital.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Is it a ditch or a dyke?
You know what, lets stick with ditch.

On a lighter note I've just noticed that I do in fact have three different brands on my 2. 😂😂😂

Which means that you have different ones on one axle.
