Floating Arm Trebuchet Trebuchet

never check the tires if you go on vacation (I)

(*) ... because you will not have surprises at the annual organizational program of tedium. A puncture outrageous, but no newspaper leaks left me lying in the National 320. The road had seen better days, a provincial splendor but proud of its long straights, with its changes treacherous ground and demanded their share of accidents promptly as silent tribute to outsiders, to which the villagers secretly felt creditors.
