Everyone will probably know the famous “elephant race”: a truck that slowly overtakes another one, so that the 5 km/h can drive faster. Apart from the fact that it blocks a track every time, this can also become quite dangerous at Kuppen etc.. Therefore my question: What would you think of a general overtaking ban for trucks on motorways?

how about it – pusher hard show
Quotation: UNFALL TO DRENGELEIPolizei is looking for Ferrari driver After a serious accident with three seriously injured on Pentecost Sunday, the police are searching for the driver of a red Ferrari, who is considered the cause of the accident. A hot track already exists….complete article happens to me again and again: one is pressed by some pseudofast drivers, although in front of a vehicle are still, or a speed limit and dense traffic do not allow to make a place. imho such I don’t take it out, although I usually have a witness. are we just too generous, shy the toil or should we see it all loosely? even if I don’t let myself be insecure, such types get to me neatly on the $ack. what do you think about it?

Escort frozen and revived?
Hello, attention it gets ugly… Since my Essi has a leaky water pump and the rep. is a bit expensive I have simply always dropped water over the summer. Now when the winter came abruptly I have admitted a pulle frost protection and thought it will not be enough that he freezes. A few days it went but when I then left it for 2 days and started it briefly already when starting and the engine stood still… He did not run either, only the starter. Then pour I put in about 3 L hot water and waited an hour until everything was thawed. During the new start attempt the starter turned normally but he didn’t jump any more. Since then he has been standing there for 2 weeks and since it has been thawed tonight and now I want to try again. My question is only why did he not come up for the last time? What could have happened there. Teeth straps possibly skipped? But that would have been heard then or? How can the wapu be damaged by the ice? I’m really ashamed to have done something like that to the faithful Essi. Maybe someone has an idea… Thank you

How do I calculate the wheel diameter from the tyre formula ???
Hello, I have read that the rim or tyre size affects the wheel diameter and thus the ground clearance of the car. I do not know how to calculate this. So e.g.: 235/55 R18 means Q = 235 = tyre cross-section in mm V = 55 = ratio tyre height to tyre width in % Z = 18 = 18 inches diameter (equivalent to x 2.54 = 45.72 cm) From these values one must now be able to determine the diameter or the half-meter in order to compare how much higher or more lower a car stands on the road if it uses this or that tire size. That is certainly quite easy to determine if you know it. Does anyone know it ? Thanks rapper PS: I tried the following formula – true the ? diameter = (Q*V/100)*2) + (Z*2.54)*10) With this formula I would get with the above mentioned tires / rim size 235/55 R 18 to a diameter of 715,7 mm With a tyre / rim size of 205/60 R16 I would get to diameter = 652,4 mm

Wheels/tires/track plates
Hello, the Somme is soon at the door and today the new rims have been ordered It is about 8.5Jx20 ET 45. With the tires I thought about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 XL FP in 245/30 R20 in 90Y (600kg should be enough with the 2.0 TDI 143PS, right?). I am still unsure about the wheel widths. I thought about 15mm per wheel and wanted to use H&R, have not found a suitable set with bolts yet. Do you think I get the combo registered this way? Greetings A lex

Which summer tires to buy?
Hi guys, with my season car I will now upgrade to 18″ aluminium wheels and still need summer tires. I have seen/read the new test reports, but am still unsure. Around 225/40R18 should be mounted. Vehicle is a 3 Series BMW (E36) limousine. Ride in the season (04-09) max. 6tkm, only in nice weather, cruise more than I race. On the highway, however, more times are blown free. I calculated a lot and the Hankook S1 Evo2 would cost me about 420€, since against the better rated Barum Bavuris 2 ca. 348€. The absolute test winner Conti Sport Contact 5 ca. 490€. The Dunlop Sport Maxx RT, Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2, Michelin Pilot 3, Bridgestone Potenza S001 lies between 440-480€. So price difference between the best is just between 70-140€. How was the Nexen N8000 tested? There would cost four tyres just about 280€. Which tire would you recommend to me with my vehicle, mileage in the year and driving style? Thanks and Greetings Patrick

Washed out outside?
Moin Moin dear forum! I just looked at my tyres in front and I noticed that I have such a wave-like line around the edge of the profile. Like the border between flank and tread. http://i908.photobucket.com/albums/ac281/connectab/adb74543.jpg I don’t have that much on all four tyres just at the back. Tires are Pirelli PZero Nero in 245/30 20″ Thanks already.

Individual acceptance, registration or none of the two necessary? Rims + tires
Hello to each other, a few months ago I had bought my desired rims + tyres, which I would like to raise in the next week and if necessary already drive. I had always only OEM rims + the tire dimensions on it, which are in the vehicle license. To buy I had already made myself smart, whether I can drive the rims at all and which tyres up. So far I had set myself on a single acceptance but now I am somewhat irritated, if this really necessary vehicle: BMW E39 523i saloon from 12/98 – keys 0005 567 – no modifications / original condition / no special entries rims: MAM B1 8×19 front and 9.5×19 rear tires: 235/35/19 front and 255/30/19 rear From the manufacturer MAM there is a part report for this combination in which also the mentioned tire dimensions are listed. See here for the 8 and 9.5 separate ABE documents. See here for the 9.5×19 And for both rims there are also separate documen See here I would have said now that on the basis of the documents no individual acceptance is necessary. Since for the combinations parts reports are available, could only a registration be necessary or am I wrong?

Blue lighting in and around the car. ASSISTANCE!
Hello. At my Mk 6 I have a red reflector in the door on the driver and passenger side each. I would like to expand it and instead install a board with several blue LEDs. These should work on when the door is opened. Can someone give me an approximate circuit diagram of this board (drawing)? I’m not the smartest in schematics. Has someone ever done something like this or have tips and suggestions? I’m very grateful about any kind of help. Thank you in advance.
