Thanks for the travelog, Prof, fantastic photo's as usual.

Re the wheel and tyre problems. If you consider that the other three performed without fault, then all you really need is one or two decent 46-48 rims nicely prepared and equipped with good quality tubes.

Looking at what would be needed to fully equip the car with an alternative "touring" set of tubeless radials and matching wheels may also be a good way to go. The original wheels can be stored for posterity.

Whatever you decide, keep up the good work.

Mart.

PS why the hell did vigilink (whoever the hell they are ) add a link where I wrote "wheel and tyre"??
