Al Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 ........coming home from work last night at midnight,thought the car seemed 'different'.Got home and saw that the tyre is nearly flat,with a nice philipshead screw stuck through it. .........Going to see now if i can get it fixed,as it is a brand new tyre (+£150 new!)

Waxmonkey Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 aye, bloody cheap innit! was well chuffed, it's bouncing along like Rik Waller with a rocket up his arse now! I wanted one replaced cos there was a huge rip in one of them, once they got the car up on them stilty things, one of the back tyres was threadbare and the other front tyre had hardly any tread! bloody lucky the police didn't stop me for a routine check!
