Default Flat tyre :o

Came out this morning and saw that the Scoob had a flat tyre.

No obvious damage and I got in touch with the local tyre place (who only fitted the brand new tyre about 10 days ago). Half of me's thinking how to get to work and I decided to re-inflate the tyre and drive to the tyre place (about half a mile away).

Chap on the phone, ever helpful, says - yeah don't drive with it flat, you could always put the spare on..

SPARE !

OF COURSE !

I HAVE A SPARE WHEEL !!!!

I had COMPLETELY forgotten abotu the existence of spare wheels!!!

Still was to much effort and I just reinflated it, it held enough to get there, and

OMFG! I've never used that abbreviation before but I really think it's warranted!

For crying out loud, you're not THAT blonde!

No really, i AM that blonde !!!!!

I had great plans to reinflate it and if that failed, to take it off and take the wheel to the tyre place, or use the Elise to get to work.

Too used to the 7 I guess !

Do you still own the S, Jo? If not, it's time you changed your profile ...
