Great idea. Trouble is - someone seems to have stolen the tubes out of my wheels. you can't leave anything lying around these days!

I remember when it was also acceptable to drive around drunk and not wear seat belts and not have an annual MOT test. I recall a relative showing me the steel cords in his Michelin X car tyres ,late 1950's?, and complaining that they were deflating.

I'm glad to be living in the nanny state across the pond.

Was recently in Washington DC and the big news story was kids copying their parents using cell phones while driving. Not that we have that in the UK.

Ahh, yes. The good ole days. But alas, I feel so much more protected from myself now.
