I can imagine the rough ride on bare wheels with no tyres...

To be fair a lot of people do that too, sticking ridiculously low profile tyres on regular street cars

Now that's sad...
I always thought those were RFTs (Run Flat Tyres)... now I feel ashamed

No, RFTs are the tyres that always feel and sound like you have a flat regardless of air pressure or profile

Finally broke down I got VIDA today. Running 2 VIDA compatible cars and another 8 in the neighborhood

Maybe I’ll play with my fan speed today...

Play it safe, you don't want any accidental takeoffs

Summer wheels at last. Always forget how much it does for the handling coming from snows.

And a wash. A lot shinier than all the new cars in the garage at work today

Also some trailer pulling that made the car look small. Had to work the engine a bit to get on the motorway too.

Not very much work involved actually. No polishing or anything. Though I guess the paint is in decent shape for the miles it does look a bit worn up close.

A proper wash and some spray-on paint sealant, HydrO2 Lite. Last wash. This time just some old wax shampoo I'm using up.

Is that the 417 blue or is there a new code for P2
