Unlucky then lucky in the same night
Discussion
My sister is up from London visiting for a few days so I collected her from Edinburgh Airport around 8pm tonight.
On the M9 back to Falkirk I noticed a couple of cars on the hard shoulder between Linlithgow and Polmont with their hazards on but thought nothing of it.
Then BANG I hit a whopping pothole at around 65mph and the whole car shook.
I then noticed that the 'couple of cars' on the hard shoulder were actually around half a dozen, who had obviously hit the same pothole!
The car felt ok for the next wee while but eventually I could feel that the tyre was starting to deflate and luckily I managed to make it home before it was completely flat as unfortunately the Abarth 500 doesn't come with a spare.
The weather is wild here just now with high winds and rain and when I parked in my driveway I noticed that where I usually park my car a roof tile had come off my roof and smashed to pieces.
I dread to think what damage would have been caused to the car if I hadn't gone to the airport so I think I ended up with the lesser of two evils.
