Morning guys;
Ah, the metric system! We've been using it for some time now and I think most of us have become somewhat used to it. Most folks my age seem to have found a way to deal with it. 0 degrees is kind of nippy, but not nearly as bad as 0 degrees in the good old days. 10 is not too bad, 20 is nice, 30 is too hot. Mercifully, they have put both mph and km on our speedometers. 50 km is about 30 mph, that's for city driving. 110 km must be around 65 mph, that's for highway driving. One thing I do know is 160 km is bang on 100 mph. You have to go at least that speed when some youngster is trying to get the best of ya with his little fart of a metric car with a loud muffler! Strangely enough, a ticket that says you were going 100 mph is "kind of impressive". A ticket that says 160 km....not so much.
Cheers.....Rick
