Thanks Lowdrag, as you say, memories are a wonderful thing and that’s what these trips are made of.
Reims holds a special place in my heart too, as does the Hotel de France in Chartre. That would have been our first overnight had I been organising. However I’m not, so onward and today upward!

What tyres do you run it on? They don't look like Michelin X?
Toyo’s as they’re more readily available. Except in France, Andorra or Spain. Tyre is goosed so we’re using the aged spare until we can find a replacement. Which is proving difficult ![banghead](/inc/images/banghead.gif)
That said, we’ve crossed the Pyrenees with no issues and currently relaxing/tyre searching in our Andorran digs for the night.

Sacre bleu . Not even a tiny bistro to save you from this terrible fate? I speak as possibly the only person in the UK who has never been to a BK, mainly because my sole trip to MacDonalds in 1989 put me off US fast food for life .
So I'd like to see some fresh asperges with a glass of Sancerre next please . ,

We have arrived not particularly close to Barcelona, 24 degrees, sunshine and a fully operational 2CV, if still lacking a spare tyre.
Small cars fit in small spaces, so FOC underground parking for us![thumbup](/inc/images/thumbup.gif)

I would imagine that your main tyre replacement issue is that no one carries stock?
Can you locate a potential supplier where you expect to be on, say, Tuesday and ask them to order you one?
You could always send the Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious on ahead with the wheel....
Indeed. There’s a place in Valencia that has some. We arrive there tomorrow hopefully, so should at least be able to pick one up first thing Monday morning…Can you locate a potential supplier where you expect to be on, say, Tuesday and ask them to order you one?
