Previous owner drove the car with a flat so wrecked the sidewall. Bit of hunting & got a replacement on Friday for 190 quid just in time for my first track day in it today.

Great fun! Car performed great, drove home & literally right after getting out the tyre deflates before my eyes.

Huge slice in the sidewall, but of a search with the torch & there's a rusty old flattened tin can in the road outside my drive.

Arrrrgggghhhh!

So nearly 200 quid & 5 days, Shirley someone's done better??!!

I actually think I wouldn't be so pissed off if it wasn't the tyre I replaced last week.

Keep 'em coming guys, I'm slowly feeling a little bit better
