This blows.

[Never you mind]

Wife has only been driving for like 6 months and suffered this on the motorway.



Quite impressed she didn't bin it.

Cool story bra and all that.

[Never you mind]

She says it went bang and bits of rubber flew off. She pulled it over straight away.

Reminds me of the Pirelli F1 tyre explosions a few years back. Same make

As the delicate flower with no head for hard stuff like math or driving, who could have easily died a firey death on A52 this afternoon, I call shenanigans on the douchebaggery that suggests I know nowt about tyre pressure. I would notice. One cannot stick to the tail end of an F type the way I did up the A1 without noticing a bit of wobble when things are not quite right. It was out of nowhere. Just gone. Not even a flapping about of bits of tyre as I drove approx 150m to get to a verge safe enough to pull over. I always check visually and pester the car-geek husband to double check....add that to the fact that my Abarth has tyre pressure warning I can only assume it was a freak trye blow-up, à la Hamilton @ Silverstone 2013. I'm just a bit pissy that the money I'm going to have to spend is going to delay my intended June GTR trade in.

Hello my little delicate flower. Wouldn't you be better with a nice Suzuki Wagon R rather an GTR? Think about all those dials you'll have to check.




Is much more lady like than this.

She also left foot brakes better than a lot of blokes I know. I've taught her well

You must have amazing skills to get a 500 to stick to the tail of an F-Type!

A Suzuki Wagon R can stick to a F40 up the A1. Speed is limited to 70mph. Its not the autobhan you know.
