Merc tyre blew out last night.

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"

RE: Merc tyre blew out last night.

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.
