Luckily I was only going 20/25mph. 10 mins earlier I was doing......lets just say....."motorway speeds"

I was actually on my was to have the tyre change cos I'd got a really bad egg on the inside. I spotted them when painted wheels.

I needed to have a KFC after for the trauma. lol.

To be fair it was very UN-dramatic. I hardly felt it, I just heard a big ass "pop"
ok alan......
a mini adventure then?

hahaha

No one believes a word you say al until 12!

This did happen though!
another hour and a half yet...
Was this while you were on the way to part chop it in for the Cossie then? Icon_wink
Or was this when you were chasing the underpant gnomes? Icon_lol
This was actually true. lol.
well im glad you are ok Alan... like you said good job you werent going fast.
as it was not serious all i can say is SERVES YOU RIGHT.
Karma is a bitch lol
has it done any damage to any bodypanels? and unlucky.
No damage apart from the tyre.

I was VERY VERY lucky though. I was just undoing the last bolt and the god damn car started to fall backwards off the jack. My mate tried to push on the boot but couldn't stop it. Luckily the wheel was still on enough. Phew!!! I hate the standard jacks that come with cars, they're fucking dangerous in my opinion. I like my trolly jack. I'd have been well pissed off if it'd fell off propperly.
