Write Up Sideways Resolution Day

[RickyBobby]

So following my little sideways incident yesterday on the way home from golf where I blew out both nearside tyres - I needed to get out for a more enjoyable road trip experience.

So ha ing took the dogs for their morning walk early I jumped in T515 BJB before the Mrs and Kids awoke.

55 miles and 90 minutes later I was back home from the Peaks and all was right with the world and more importantly my appreciation of what this car provides - even better I've found the perfect coffee mug for the perfect cup holder solution.

Wow, both tyres blown ! Sounds nasty, what happened ?

Essentially a combination of my poor driving skills, a wet road and an over enthusiastic right foot in to a left hand bend. 360 degrees later I'm facing in the intended direction of travel but on grass instead of tarmac with both tyres blown out

Ooops !! Glad you didn't hit anything and damage the car.

You and me both - had the tyres refitted and resealed and fortunately the inspection conirmed no damage to the underside. Just to make sure I took it for a good run this morning and have it booked in for a full service tomorrow.

Lesson learned - until next time

On a positive note it gave me an excuse to remove the locking wheel bolts which I've been meaning to do - I also found out the original spare wheel was worthless so have replaced with a new one.
