An eventful drive yesterday with @Islam Soliman yesterday. As we agreed, the theme of the day was everything to do with "tyres."

Whether @Sunil Mathew's puncture at the start, my "almost pop-out" or @JamesThorn's two rear-tyre deflations towards the exit, we had our fair share to deal with. Let's not forget a couple of stucks, including @Naveen Raj's epic one providing great camera opportunities! As usual, handled well by all involved as a team - thanks to @Islam Soliman, @marks and @Sunil Mathew for the guidance and assistance. 

By the way, fixed my tyre on the way home at the same garage. No damage evident after taking everything apart, just gave the rim and tyre a good clean. I hope that's the end of it. 

Some photos in the gallery.

Have a good week everyone...
