Have you not got it off yet :o have you taken it to a tyre place?

No not yet! Despite various tools and gadgets being tried! It is currently in the process of being drilled out but not too successfully! Its not insured so cant take it to a garage!
Getting a bit of a pain as i really need to sell it and get some space back!!!
Think this one has beaten Jimbob! :( :( :(
