Hedd. Thank you for the kind offer, but the attraction of using the perfectly awful Kodak DC20 is that:-
1. It was the first commercially available digital camera (from 1996)
2. It still works
3. With images of 493 x 373 pixels, whilst the quality is abysmal, the files are tiny.
4. It can live in the glovebox of the Seven so that I always have a camera to hand.
I have a fairly up-market Leica D-Lux as well as several film cameras, most notably a Leica lll (a year younger than the Seven) and a Rolleicord both of which I have owned since my youth, All of them are much better cameras but not the sort of things one would leave lying about in a car.
Stuart the tyre fitter said that driving the tyre whilst flat tends to pull the valve stem off the tube. As it happens, I have acquired a couple of 19 inch motocross tubes, which are 4mm thick at very reasonable cost One of these is now fitted so hopefully, tyre reliability is now restored.
