Back to basics !

Last week i had to visit a client in the part of our country where they don't like to work. Actually it's a very nice region with a lot of nature and therefore some nice roads.

For those occasions i always bring a full size spare wheel along ... you never know what could happen.




No need to lose time and money on restaurant food, just take along some cheese sandwiches and a home brewed coffee. Since the weather was amazing it was quite relaxing sitting by the side of the road (with no traffic at all).



Before the serious fun starts some sightseeing from the car.




And here is where the fun started, i guess out of the 500 km i drove there were some 30 km at this pace.




The day after was a totally different drive, the car has loads more torque and power but the speeds were very un-BIM-like.





The food had a bit more cachet though smile

I ditched the front Bridgestones on the Megane ๐Ÿ˜„

The SC6 is excellent, if you can fit it...

I guess they still start at 19 inch, so might be difficult with the Clio ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

SC5 on the Clio and 245/35/19 SC on the Megane.

Though at the rear of the Megane i still have the original Bridgestones.

Prejudiced much?

"...a part of our country where they don't like to work." Talk about an overgeneralization, which should have no place either here or anywhere, really. As an American Indian, I'm probably more attune to this than most, especially those in majority society... 

Just read your comment.

Roads in Belgium in general ...
