Default TT at midnight

Hi everybody,

Took my TT for an evening spin last weekend. I snapped this photo close to midnight, probably one of my last TT photos, sniff...

The sun doesn't set at all in northern Finland and even here in the south it doesn't get much darker than this. I really love these midnighTT drives on twisty Finnish countryside roads. Oh no, I'm starting to cry once again

This photo is just a quick snapshot but hopefully it shows what the term "midnight sun" means

Oh, I had to buy new tires to replace my Continental SportContact 2's (excellent tires, by the way) but I didn't want to spend too much money on them since I have only something like 2 weeks left to drive the TT. So I bought some cheap Italian tires and boy are they crap! The car keeps swaying sideways at the slightest quick turn of the steering wheel and ESP kicks in, LOL! One should never use such crappy tires on a TT! I really loved the SportContacts and now it seems I'm driving an old american limousine (sorry, guys) I almost wish I had bought better tires...

I agree, Kim. A TT Roadster would indeed make the shot better! I'm so sorry about your car, Kim
