Do not buy a car without a spare wheel - those cans of shite they provide are useless. I copped a puncture in the forest and had to wait three hours for a recovery lorry because that stuff didnāt work. I could have changed the wheel, got to kwik fit and got home in that time
The recovery lorry driver said that most of his work comes from cars without spare wheels
Yeah, I do have my doubts about it to be honest. Much like Slime in bike tyres, itās never worked for meā¦
Not got a choice to be honest, ours is a seven seater so has no room for a spareā¦
Would you be able to buy a space saver spare to fit the car, and keep it in the boot?
And whatās the position there in regards to mobile tyre repairs, are they commonplace? Iāve got to be honest and say that itās been at least 10 years since I had a puncture, that includes my car, my van and the ex wifeās car. If a few hours waiting while itās fixed wouldnāt be the end of the world, Iād personally be inclined to buy a decent can of the spray repair and take my chances. My old Sprinter had no spare when I bought it from Transco, I got one and had a bracket welded inside the van to hold it. Went 12 years without a puncture, and it was often in the way.
My latest lease car only has the can of gunk but hey when youāre driving an Audi R8 thereās no room for a spare.
Youāll get one tomorrow, Iāve been avoiding angering the puncture gods by saying when was the last time I got a puncture.
Actually, it was last week, Mrs BTripz managed to get a screw in the tyre, luckily it wasnāt flat so I could drive it to get it fixedā¦
Double-bluff, mate. Double-bluff. 
Hmm.
Interesting. Clearly I missed out on this ābecoming a thingā.
The I30 usually comes with a slim spare so should be able to get one. Need to check the boot if it has mounting points then perhaps stick it in a box for when away from home.
Calling a tyre repair truck isnt an option if Iām away from home & wife is at work

(Someone had to) How big was the tyre? Monster truck?
Donāt forget cleaning up the vomit stains after picking them up wankered at some godless hour of the morning - gotta get your own back for a few of those
A hire car from Hertz Heathrow around mid June when I arrive back in Blighty.
You been fired?
Surely not vacation. You only just got there!
Heās been found outā¦persona non grata. 
It will be a vacation 6 and half weeks onboard plus 10 days quarantine then back to see my old man till August.
And the first question when you arrive will be, āwhen are you going back?ā 
Give me a shout if you fancy going for a beer.
It always is but this time I can tell them the 20th August. Rota planned untill end of year 
I always fancy going for a beer
Sotonians Jolly-Boys day out on the piss maybe?
I need to get down to the Waterside to visit the Old Dear in Colditz at some point so may as well make the most of the visit.
Might be able to arrange it around a game of footballā¦but please count me in.
