There is an European flair to it. The rear lights, the dead single wheel rear axle, the double steer axles (which i don’t think it is available in north america for those model. Also the fact that this is a DAF CF (as said by BvdV) and not the the smaller model we get ( my post wasn’t clear on that part).

Well people tend to forget over the summer. What you saw was the first snow of the season in Montreal. People get it together after that. They mostly know how to drive in tough condition. Or they think they know until they get all 4 wheels locked up in ice.

They are sold as Peterbilt 220 and Kenworth K270/K370 here. The last time I saw one of these I was like “mmm .. That thing looks oddly European”. Then I realized that they were DAF truck which is pretty sweet.

I agree with you. That’s why I made the comment about average Joe because many people don’t care about driving. They can barely drive in the summer, don’t expect them to know what to do in those conditions.

While I mostly agree with you, the thing is, that is a hill downtown. If you don’t slow down it is going to be very ugly at the next intersection.

Sorry but, you suck at french buddy.

The thing is with that kind of snow covered black ice, the margin between full lock and not braking at all is like incredibly slim. The best thing is to do down shift to the smallest gear possible and feather the brake as little as possible. But you know you are still going forward.

There is idiot everywhere. They usually drive crossovers because well, they don’t understand how to drive, winter or summer.

People usually forget over the summer. But, that is not ordinary first snow. It is snow covered black ice, which is THE ABSOLUTE WORST SURFACE to drive on. We got that stuff up here last week. It was crazy slippery.

Je peux pas juger ceux de montréal mais, ceux de Québec sont définitivement meilleur que ceux de Chicoutimi.

I’m french and i’m not separatist. My dad was in the Canadian forces for 35 years. Maybe it has helped. But try to explain that to the order Canadians.

La cote Gilmour est déjà intense l’été. C’est pas pour rien qu’elle est fermé la moitié de l’hiver. ( J’ai resté a Québec pendant 1 an)

It happened to us in Saguenay last week. 80 accident in 2h or so. It is crazy how slippery the streets got.

You know, we aren’t the most loved province of the bunch. Because 1980, 1995 and the Parti Québécois.

Anyway, if you like the stock wheel, why would you change ?

It is the first time I hear that. Here dealers install winter tire on smaller steel wheel. I don’t think you have to worry about breaking anything.

I knew it

That was really a neat looking car. I wished so bad for Spyker to succeed and keep that great livery.
