What happened
today:

Well, this is Kilometer 351 at the Autostrada A-7, some 200 kilometers
ahead of Barcelona, Spain. It is 15:45 local time and only a few minutes
ago both tires on the rear axis decided to take a "break" (forever...).
DL3DXX, DJ9MH, DL8WPX, CN8LN and DL6FBL (taking the pictures) are
waiting for the service...
I never saw a blown tire before, and I don't want to see one again...
This is the service man. He had all his tools in his car, and managed to
change both tires on site. It is really fun watching a professional
doing professional work... Around 19:00 local time we are rolling on ...
to the next repair center, because one of the two exhausts was broken
and had to be welded. We found some friendly people, who did this job
almost one hour after their official working hours... Thanks again. From
now on everything went on smoothly and we reached the French border yet
before midnight.
