Slippery wet streets
I realised again a few days ago (when I took advantage of a normally-safe gap in traffic) that it’s actually incredibly dangerous to momentarily forget that roads are slippery when wet. Fortunately I knew to reduce the power, gain control and re-accelerate – and fortunately the car coming at me from behind was actually going slower than I at first thought it was.
Who recognises this town? It’s not too difficult, click to zoom – there’s huge clue right there in the photo.
Stellenbosch? If it is, then the honours go to the internet – “riman place” seemed likely to be Merriman Place, a quick Google and http://wikimapia.org/15012376/Merriman-Place did the rest!
Not sure if that was the clue you meant though! I did spend a while trying to work out what the black vertical sign was on the lovely cream building – until I realised it says Laundry!
Well done Pamela, Merriman Place was the clue.
And there I was thinking that the number plates were the dead easy give away.
You should make sure you are on a wet weather tyre, the first of the rains are always a stuff up, I’ve just ordered these http://www.bridgestone.com.au/media/articles/re002.aspx – what car do you have drive that doesn’t have traction control?
I never even thought of the plates Emdee96. They would probably have led you to think it was Paarl though.
The birdgestone’s look hardcore – but then, in this weather and with the power the hood of you Lumina, I can’t blame you for wanting as much grip, control, and stability as possible!
I have an old BMW 328.
