Tyre Air

Just don't use that compressor in Akaroa! There may still be some lingering Frenchness.

Seeing as most Lucas stuff is made in China you might be wise to seek out a Great Wall dealer for a shot of imported air.
 
Are you guys all passing a trans-continental reefer around between yourselves?
Should you be unable to obtain the air of the correct country of origin, you might be able to use 'tyre gas', which is what a well-heeled acquaintance of mine found listed on his bill at the Porsche Zentrum to the tune of a couple of hundred smackeroonies, without him having asked for his tyres to be inflated with the stuff! When he explained that he was acustomed to matching his tyre pressure to racetrack conditions of a rack day weekend, they were happy to supply him with a pressurised flask of said 'Reifengas' at an additional further cost. Talk about taking the mickey. He told 'em to rebottle the stuff and refill his already-expensive-enough Michelin Pilot Sport tyres with whatever air we breathe here in Berlin, and knock it off his bill to boot. Sorry for veering off topic, and for being unable to help you locate any of the exact variety of air you seek. Keep us posted, eh!
 
It's alright, Graeme. There is nothing but good stolid Anglican colonial air here in this "established" suburb in NZ's most English city. But if Gerald feels his P6's ride could do with a little infusion of Citroenesque waft, I'd be prepared to load the compressor into the work wagon and make a trip to Akaroa. He'd have to pay more, but I think he can afford it. He's made a fortune from firewood this year. It has more than made up for those bumbling police officers carelessly stomping all over his regular cash crop uninvited.

MrTask, this "tyre gas" wouldn't have been nitrogen, perchance? Or, being a Porsche dealer, do they use an even more exclusive element?

Shoosh you - IRD scan these pages .
You may have a point there Warren and Mrtask - some good "Waitakere Gold" Air in the tyres .
Mmmm I can feeel the riiide man .
 
That leads to an interesting thought, Gerald. Forget tyres for a minute - what if you were to pump some of that Westie air into the suspension of the supercharged V8 Rangie Vogue SE you use to get about the farm?
