    FAO Lutz Winter Tyres in Germany

    Bill, I think there is no fixed time, it depends on the temperature that it is. If its 5 Degrees and below or that your tyres are not suitable for the weather. If you get stopped its a 30 euro fine and if you are causing an obstruction due to tyres its 80 euros.

    Owners Towcar Database.

    I drive a S-Max 2.2TDCi and tow a Hobby 560KFMe getting aroud 24-25mpg on the Autobahns. Averaging 100Kmph and about 27 mpg in Italy, I think due to greater overtaking restrictions.

    world cup

    Parksy, As a Welshman Living in Germany, I really hope England win so that all these Germans stop beeping their Bl**dy horns all night when they win a game. That said I won't be too dishartend if Ze Germans win, that would mean more parties in the town.

    Service Stations

    In Germany we always fill up at the Car side. You may find the Diesel Lorry side with a Larger Nozzle. Europeans are a lot more considerate to caravns than the UK and give you a wide berth
