Latest news: there is no REAL news to speak of, in fact we won't be visiting the car for at least eight more days.  

But, we're heading to Penticton BC for Granfondo Axel Merckx bike race, and on the way I will drop off 4 of the 5 new XAS tires, 4 new Airstop inner tubes and the 4 newly powdercoated wheels at Automotion for mounting and balancing.  Hope to pick them up on Monday as we come back home again, if Peter has them done by Friday afternoon.

The fifth tire will be mounted on another wheel for the spare once I have a chance to put another wheel into the powdercoater.  The delay on the 5th one is that I want to have 4 mounted tires at all times, in case I get a call saying the car is done (before the new XAS are mounted and back home again).
