Thank goodness for spare wheels

Luckily I was able to get a spare on. Luckily it was at very low speed too. All in all, it could have been worse.

Let me know if anyone has a random Vredestein Wintac Extreme available in 255/35/19. Cheers

Funnily enough a mate kept trying to get me to sell him the spare wheel. There was no chance, and a good job too!

Holy Sh!t!!!
Are you sure that wasn't actually SHOT at you????
Good job you weren't ragging it away! (Although if you WERE, and they WERE shooting at you, they would have missed!)
It's alright.... i've got my coat!!!
I've finally got my head together but now my body is falling apart!
