Not a very cheery update this one, but but I thought I'd still share.
Woke up nice and early on Sunday morning to head to Nottingham to pick up some eBay winnings. Whilst driving down the motorway an unusually high number of of people seemed to be staring at my car, which got my suspicions up and then when I hit a cats eye and it nearly took the wheel out of my had I knew something was a miss.
So I pulled onto the hard shoulder for an inspection.
Here I found that someone had stolen my valve cap (thats the 6th one to go now FFS), then they had decided to try to steal my valve as its a metal one. Then realizing this wasn't possible without removing the tyre the had left it loose for me! Leading to a puncture.
Luckily the wheel itself survived unscaved!
Knowing full well the jack provided with the car didn't stand a chance we called the RAC, and an hour and a half later he arrived.
Initially he looked really put out when he saw my car but eventually came round to the idea and couldn't have been more helpful!
So I'm now running round with my good ol' VTR wheel on the front whilst I source another tyre as I don't want to risk my wheel (and myself) by stretching THAT tyre again!
Ubert tuck again FTL
RANT OVER!!!
