New Car and His Expensive Winter tires...

So fall of 2007 I ended up getting myself a new car - a MINI Cooper, his name is Eddy (go ahead and make fun but all my cars end up with names) and I love him.

He was great in the winter of 2007 given that he still had his factory tires, however this winter when the white stuff arrived was a whole different story. It was like driving a car on skies, terrifying !!

So off I went to do my tire shopping, what a headache. As it turned out I ended up at BMW cause did you know that there are very few manufacturers that actually make tires for the mini cooper ? Well turns out that because of this I ended up paying through the roof for Eddy's new rubber shoes - this was the day that I met Mr Pirelli, ever met him ?
