Supplying a kit for a car whose tires are not made to mend with the gunge & subcontracting recovery to a company who do not have recovery trucks or spare tires!!! 4 hours in a service station with a 6 week old baby waiting for a sub-sub contract recovery truck to take us all the way home!!

I know I always do but that's because I feel so unsafe drving with one fitted. I can't think of many places to have a flat tyre where I could reach a repair shop within 10 minutes. Somehow your repair kit reminds me of the days when we carried a patch for a flat tyre and the memory of two flats and being unable to repair the second and subsequently spending many long hours beside a road in Nth West Queensland. Could be a post in that story!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15276284964859313257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-16498260265409680172011-05-22T23:01:54.966+01:002011-05-22T23:01:54.966+01:00We recently replaced all six tires on the motorhom...We recently replaced all six tires on the motorhome because they were 7 years old (especially since those tires lived in the Arizona heat for those 7 years). Tires are dated on the sidewall. It cost a bunch of money, but I sure would not want to have a flat in this thing!shabby girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12340974325967555770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-60846593279669443372011-05-22T20:55:16.248+01:002011-05-22T20:55:16.248+01:00I usually use my own car.

My option is time consuming (which is not a problem because I call the travelling part of my holiday) and more expensive than flying. But I do like having my shell around me and the independence.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784891745623390957.post-26066171966671725902011-05-22T20:51:00.154+01:002011-05-22T20:51:00.154+01:00So you're driving your own car to France this ...So you're driving your own car to France this summer?
