Big trouble
« on: 22 July 2007, 16:12:15 »
Work tomorrow at 4am.

Nail in my tyre, going flat. No spare, due to LPG tank. Nowhere open for a repair / or new tyre as it's sunday.

Only hope is some of that temp tyre seal stuff... just wonder where I can get any, halfrauds etc also now closed. Any ideas?

ARRGH

It's a risk you take  :o, but it's always niggling away in the back of your mind. The spare that came with my diseasal Astra around Christmas time was f***ed, it wouldn'y hold any air at all. I've just replaced it. :y

There was a spare that came with the veccy when i bought it......but after i got a puncture....i discovered some numpty had swapped it with another wheel and it bl**dy wouldnt fit, 5 stud wheel but the centre hub hole was too small  >:(
Think i ditched it as no point carrying a spare wheel about that wont fit.

Are you in AA/RAC as you could just phone em up and get them to transport you and veccy to Cheltenham......Having no spare coz you've got an lpg tank where the spare goes....is a valid reason for them....i know, i did it when i got a flat  ;)

I guess it wont blow up at all then?

Slightly off subject but it is great up here on Sundays. Different Sunday trading laws so places are open a lot longer and the likes of Tesco and Asda never close ever  :y
