In three words I can sum up everything I have learned about life: It goes on.

The utter stupidity of car designers penny pinching to the maximum it was a £100 upcharge for a full size spare + carrier + brace and jack the tyre alone would be £100 to buy .. when I ordered my current car well worth it been used twice in 4 years ...

Mate had a hybrid got a puncture one Sunday afternoon by time rac got to him it had just gone 4pm everywhere shut they transported him from near brum to deepest darked Norfolk finally as dawn was breaking

Another had a blow out on the motorway got to hard shoulder rung AA we need you to try the can of goo before we will come out. . . Not trying it it's the off side I'm on a motorway I've had a blow out it won't work.... You must try it.... Ok..... 2 mins later .. not worked there's a puddle of gloop under the car now .... and the tyre is still laying against the central crash barrier..

(He didn't discharge the goo.) Even the AA driver wasn't happy with controls logic of following a flow chart..


The supplied jack with mine went in the bin it wasn't stable at all I've now got a big 4x4 trolley Jack much safer and faster

That said cars off in for 2 tyres on Tuesday before winter really sets in
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
