as you all may know i do have the worst luck in history, once again i have another problem.

drove home the other day and felt the wheel pull to the left so i thought ok fair enough, went to the BP pumped it up, i wondered about it.

so i went home and watered the tyre down, and YEP!! surely enough there was a HUGE nail the size of a finger in it, great, my brand new tyre and now its got a hole in it!

this is the devils car, please burn it!
i love the car, but but this thing is possessed!! haha!!

i cherrish the day were the problems stop :-):-)!

one day.... i suppose you expect problems with a car pushing 20 years though! :-)

Vulcanised plugs are good for the life of the tyre and should cost you $20 or so, no biggie - I've had about 4 or 5 in the last few years - mostly nails, screws, bits of steel etc.

Indeed you wouldn't want to use a plugged tyre on the track, but on the road they are perfectly safe, unless you are some kind of maniac who drives around with five people in the car and a boot full of bricks, doing twice the speed limit.

It could be worse, Ty:-) You could have a wife who continues to drive with the nail in the tyre and no air, which then puts the nail through the sidewall...
