| -2- in dust. You can imagine the result of travelling at 60 m.p.h. Tyres are standing up very well indeed - we had our first puncture yesterday, a large nail which just got through. I shall have a full report to make on my return on suspension and steering but in brief I consider that for the future we ought to be able to deal satisfactorily with both these problems. Tyre pressures are most important and we cannot advise owners and agents too often on this matter. There is a general tendency to pump up much too hard, with very bad results. | ||
