Thank you to the guy in the yellow T5

[englisharcher]

Today I got a puncture on the A60 near Worksop.

I got the spare and tools out of the boot, and then hit a problem, the nuts were unmovable, even with 20 stone stood on the wheel wrench, they would not move, as I was jumping up and down on the wrench, a yellow T5 drove past, and then turned round, the guy jumped out and immediately knew the problem I was having.

Luckily he had a battery powered impact wrench with him, after a few minutes of trying, and with the impact wrench turned right up, we got the nuts loose, the guy then left wanting only a handshake in return, and I got on with changing my wheel.

I now regret that i didn't get his name.

If you are on here, or if someone know a yellow T5 in the Worksop area, I say a very big thank you to the driver.

Tales like this help restore a little off one's faith in the human race. Good bloke in the T5.

You've heard of the super hero vigilantes that crop up from time to time, maybe this fella is the puncture super hero lol

In all seriousness, fair play to the fella

And that, chaps, is what it is all about.

What a pleasant change from the road-rage threads !

I've only had cause to stop once. I stopped and helped a fellow-biker who'd run out of petrol.

That's why I like to put a bit of copper slip on the bolts when I take the wheels off!

(Good work Mr Volvo!)

Go, on....check your pocket!

I always use a very small amount on the threads but stay clear of the collars as this is where the torque comes into play.

Always double check my nuts.

I broke down on the M1 once at 3am......just when the Boxster was first launched...heard this road be as one of the first ones I had seen screeched to a holt.

"Dodgy" looking dude inside offered me a lift to the nearest phone.....took him up on it....was the DJ Goldie!!! Sound guy.
