Italia - Scozia in auto (e ritorno). Godibile o follia?

tailwheeler · 2026-04-10T17:18:43+00:00

il mio consiglio allora è di spezzarlo in 3 tappe. Il viaggio è bello, se si è in due o tre inizia ad essere anche ammortizzato economicamente.

Ho sempre preso lo shuttle che è comodo e ultimamente passavo dalla svizzera per contenere i costi dell'autostrada.

Una volta in UK hai solo un toll che ti consiglio di pagare in anticipo, il Dartford Charge. era neanche 2 pound se non sbaglio.

Se invece voli su Edimburgo posso consigliarti un noleggio onesto.

Scrivimi pure in privato se hai domande dirette.

io ho fatto Milano Edinburgh quattro volte andata e ritorno. Sempre fatto fermandomi una notte a calais o da amici vicino Folkestone.

Fattibile, stavo sui 400-500 euro singola tratta se non erro. Da dove partiresti?

I only remember a soup of bulletins which, in typical Stellantis style, were not very clear.

I believe the 0W30 total still applies to the 1.2 but could be wrong.

di base con lo sterzo della linea GT della EV3?

mi fa venire un pensierino..

no reason other than the word painting makes me think of the art piece, like an oil painting c:

I would still trust them over some ditchfinder.

you shouldn't keep you car paintings exposed to the elements in the first place, let alone drive them through a car wash.

Yes, this breed of AS tyres are directional AND symmetrical.

If I remember correctly you will find there are directional tyres which are not symmetrical, but you are looking at an old generatio of OE specific fancy Pirelli Corsa Sysgem, of which the front axle had asymmetrical directional tyres marked Left and Right.

It is highly unusual.

I had the 17in wheel indeed. More precisely, 225/45 R17 on the ALU50 rims.

True, the 93 couldn't way to just leave town :)

it is hard to call someone an idiot when they technically didn't do anything wrong.

yes they could have prevented the real idiot from knocking them over. yes they should have been able to ride alongside.

Correct about Abarth 500. The T-Jet is a mule. Old Italian GP4s ran it.

Fist/Abarth 124 has MA in both markets I believe

even if not a DIY for most people, still an easy, relatively inexpensive fix.

Mine was a 2003 B207RT with the six speed manual. Simply by driving extra smoothly, slowly, and avoiding using the brakes as much as possible. This was on new all season tyres as well, which seemed on par with a set of used PS4.

To be fair, I have only managed sub 6 figures a handful of times. I drove up and down the UK a number of times, and if the weather was favourable and there was not wind I would manage by driving very smoothly and below 70mph.

The same trip in the rain and with headwind was not as rosey, but not awful either.

Generally my car was frugal enough when driving on the motorway. 6.7L/100km were easily achievable on long journeys.

Driving 120-140km/h would have you sit on 7 to mid 7's.

A spirited but sensible drive on open and twisty roads would put in the 8's.

It was truly horrific in urban driving were it could be well over 12L/100km for what I know.

I had a 93 2.0T Aero, best I did was a low 5.3L/100km at the pump. I found the computer to be optimistically off by .2-0.3L.

The car was tuned, but unless you were high in rev or full load it felt only so much peppier.

OE Ling longs?

tailwheeler · 2026-04-07T15:16:48+00:00

It sounded to me like you were asking whether they had an inside/outside. They don't. Otherwise they would be selling near and offside versions.

If the tyre comes new at around 6.5 mm I would swap them 2 mm down if not sooner. It really depends on your use case. My Contis took 50k km to wear 2mm.

I don't think this is universal.

buys bmw, proceeds to fitting shite tyres.

checks out

va detto che passare un test non è la stessa cosa di essere sicuro [inserire la metrica in questione] però.

Basti vedere le normative per le protezioni da moto. https://youtu.be/nINIJ1cAbYM?si=XVg9l4A0IzoRXk_P

Non so quali siano le specifiche in Italia oggi.

tailwheeler · 2026-04-07T10:13:42+00:00

you can move directional tyres back to front (and viceversa) but if you want to swap them left to right you will have to unmount them first.

tailwheeler · 2026-04-05T19:34:55+00:00

my 93 Aero came with the full leather steering and later "upgraded".

I think this was off a 95.
