Bad luck Knottman.

This good old faithful car is due to be traded in in about four weeks from now. That is assuming that at the second attempt the factory can manage to make a new one with the correct specification.

That being the case it was not a good time to get a puncture. The RAC did a temporary repair which enabled us to get to the tyre garage. Unfortunately the damage was in a place which could not be repaired.
So this morning we had a new tyre. It wasn't the most expensive one we have ever bought.
