  • Busted an alloy

    Yet more car woes. On my way home yesterday after a nice day at knockhill and just coming off slip road from the motorway and a loud bang and tyre monitor went nuts. Managed to nurse the car round to a layby and yep flat rear. Rather than piss about with the Jack and spacesaver I called a mate who was leaving after me to take me to house for trolley Jack and spare alloy and when changing I found that whatever had punctured the tyre had gone through the wheel as well. Gutted doesn't come close just glad I had bought a wheel last year as a spare.

                Jesus! What in hell has punched a hole like that through alloy?? Must have been a part off an old Isuzu engine [emoji23]

                  It’s an expensive puncture.

                      No idea what caused it. I am thinking something on the slip road as my mate mentioned there was a taxi abandoned in the layby i stopped in that had a flat. Never seen anything like that though.
