No, it would just mean more expense for another 12 wheels and tyres

Sods law ... no knocks since '93 ... paint it over the winter and what happens at the 7th race of the season ...
Thats the vid of John Cross's V8 spaceframed Merc hitting Andy in the side.
The damage
the repairs
all we need now is a bit of paint and we will be ready for this weekend at Lydden ... and we need the results, due to the crash Andys class lead has been cut.
