And I really don`t understand why we need to be able to take photographs with our telephones. Isn`t that what cameras are for? And I don`t like the idea of carrying my telephone around in my pocket. I don`t like portable telephones. I say leave them on the little table next to the china cabinet where they belong.

Depends if you can find those porn sites or not. Hint: type in 'sex' or 'sexy girls' or 'sexy young scandinavian nymphets having sex with each other in the nude' and see what happens.

Your google tips are invaluable.

To be honest I don't even like portable cameras. I preferred when they looked like this:

Q: Are Bridgestone, Goodyear, Pirelli, Michelin, Continental tyres worth paying the extra 25-50% over the cheaper brands (Kumho, Hankook, Cooper, Toyo, Falken etc) ?

 

[Suitman]

No.

For you no.
For Mark Webber yes.

OK thanks. A friend of mine said that that I should go for Michelin because they are proven (?) to stop better in the wet and have better wear. He said that I will be replacing the cheaper tyres earlier and hence save money buying the better quality tyres. Myth ?

it depends on how hard a compound tyre you get as to how quick you will need to change tyres. Softer ones grip better but wear quicker, harder ones last longer (he he) but you lose a bit in grip. There is an argument that the higher prices ones are better quality but i guess it depends on how much you are willing to shell out. The expensive ones get a nail in them and are f*$ked just as easily as the cheap ones. You would assume the cheap ones still have to pass safety tests so your family is still safe on them.
My tip, go for a mid range all weather tyre with a medium compound. middle of the road all the way

Middle of the road seems to be Continental. They are $30 dearer than Coopers and $75 cheaper than Michelin. Looks like my car* comes with them new in some countries so I think I'll go with that.

* It's not really my car. It's my wife's car. I don't own a car.

Yes it's a common tyre for Aston Martins.
