Meet 09/03/10

Yeah it was one of those rubberband types. Problem was that although I called the AA around 4pm, the van did'nt arrive until 8:15pm (Good thing I was at home when I found the nail!), and he had to plug it 3 seperate times as it was just too cold for the cement to go off suitably. He left with the advice that I should get it checked out ASAP. I took it to my local'ish Suzuki dealer who have said that due to the location (Sort of right had shoulder, a good 2" from the centre line) they can't take it off and put a mushroom in, and as it's still loosing pressure (5lb ish overnight), I should replace it.

Luckily it's in for it's 4k service tomorrow, and thanks to a mutual friend I'm getting both the service and the tyre for mates rates, so It's not all that bad. Just annoying that I had a couple more months wear in it, and that I can't make tonight.

This episode has made me get a plugging kit to stash under the seat, as I can't be waiting around for the AA if this happens again!

You have'nt seen what I'm driving!

Me thinks I'll never be able to show my face again with you TV'ers if I rolled up in the wheels I'm using. All I can say is it's wrong and it's blue!

You haven't seen my dullville then. Think"egg shell" finish and rust.

The mode of transport is not the issue. Get your **** along, even the bike should be fine. Start making excuses now and it is the start of a slippery slope.....

Ask the stig.....

You didn't buy my old Cinquento did you? Nothing was as wrong as that was.

It's not egg shell it's 'black leather' look. It's the in thing.

Yup. When was my last confession now?

A bit like when Harley introduced the matt black finish on the Street Bob. Knowing that it would be rubbish, pre-empting any complaints, it was proudly announced that the paint would wear for that personalised black denim look...cringeworthy PR genius

Do you have to use such swear words in the TVSF?

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Hammerite.

I can't believe it took you that long too.

Right, are people actually showing up tonight? If so, I'll head off in a minute.
