Spare wheel?

Post by MikeyH » Fri Oct 13, 2023 11:51 am

Those E89 boots are bigger than they look :thumbsup:
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

With the roof up..not bad..but roof down :tumbleweed:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
A very modified Atacama Yellow 35is :thumbsup:

Don't you have the space saver secured somehow?

Put wheel in face down and put stuff inside wheel.
And of course you need jack and brace.

Next morning i went back to car had 2 flat nearside tyres, so even carrying spare wouldn't have solved the problem totally.
It happened down a dark rainy country lane with no mobile signal, car hit pothole in puddle.
Only option...drive on.
You were lucky there. Expensive though.
2 new tyres.
