Nice

So.... lol, long time no pics

My previous phone went to hell, so I had to buy new one. One of the first things I've tested was the camera, and I must say I'm quite pleased with the quality, regarding the fact it's just a phone. So here they are..

I30 in winter outfit... The white thing on the front bumper (better view - last pic), is the salt, which is good for ice on the road, but bad for cars and especially paint.

You didn't buy a phone, you bought a excellent camera with a built in phone

But car looks great as always, my car is also in its winter fur but I dont think I have any salt on it since there hasn't been any need for salt yet.

Here, just few more "winter ones" (though the quality sucks, it was really cold):

Delightful Pix Accim (especially the ones through the trees - like a postcard

)

So you still haven't sold her Hemmi

Here in the UK we cant take photo's like these, only ones of our car on the drive, because if it snows more than 10mm deep the country grinds to a holt LOL

Don't remember ever closing school people being excused from work (ok, it's not that much of a problem if they are max 2hrs late) because of snow over here :-\

I remember, one morning when I was just a little boy (

), there was about 60 cm of snow and it was really hard getting to walk in it, but I still had to go ???

paul · **Reply #135: January 03, 2011, 00:07:19**

the UK is full of people who, when it snows, shit themselves, panic buy,drive at 2mph or go in to hibernation

I'm so glad we don't get snow.

Love the snow just as long you don't have to do the day to day drudgery in it..

Remember when I was living in Holland for a while having to get up an hour earlier just get the car ready to go to work, defrost the locks, remove any snow, scrap the ice from the windscreen and try and get it started..

It was an old '69 Escort, my first car, not really cold friendly..

My fur keeps me warm though

Washed the car the other day, and while I was waiting for my gf, I took few pics

I must say, I still love the car..

It's approx 2 years and 2 months old now and has about 84,000 km. Had a service week or two ago, nothing special. Hope it keeps on working fine. The car and the gf.

Looks great as usual

Although i prefer her in summer outfit w/alloys

Very nice pictures what camera phone did you use.

accim · **Reply #147: February 08, 2011, 21:23:31**

Thanks.

Yeah, I can't wait for 15th March (approx) to change back to "summer outfit". These winter tires (185/65/15) are so tiny, but they are good in snow. They don't look that small on hatchback i30, but on CW, when you look at it from behind, it's like having 2 spare (smaller dimens.) tires on.

turbogo: The pictures were taken with Nokia E72.

The Hankook's? I bet they have better grip on snow than on tarmac

Hehe, no I don't have any Hankooks

My winter set (185/65/15) is Sava - Slovenian brand. Good tires in snow, but not that good in wet. My summer set (205/55/16) is Falken. I'm quite happy with them, but could also be better in rain. Though I found them good in rain in the beginning, but they got worn out inside, so maybe that's why they weren't as good..have to check the wheels geometry in spring..
