Default What a start to the morning!

I have finally just got to work.

I left home at 6:30 this morning to drive from Mandurah to Harvey.

I get 15km out of Harvey, hit a little branch on the road (could not avoid it)
It gets caught up in my rear right tyre well bangs around a bit, spits itself out and BANG my Tyre pops.

No drama I think, I pull into the rest stop conveniently placed 200m down the road, get out, jack the car up, get the tyre spanner out and the fuckn thing does not fit as I have had 20" rims put on and the holes in the rims are too small for the tyre spanner. No problem, I will call RAC, oh shit, Vodafone reception is not too good in Harvey. I end up standing on the back tailgate of the car trying to get coverage which happens to work.

Then it starts PISSING down, RAC come 1 hour later and he says oh ohhh. I don't have a socket that will fit!

So 1 hour more he comes back and puts it on, I finally get on my way to continue my journey to Stirling!

Fuckn cars!!!

Good to see the dealer had the foresight to provide the ancillary support with the vehicle to tackle a 'worst case scenario' situation.
