Sorry for missing the meet on Sunday.

But when I went out too the car I found I had a screw sticking out of one of the rear tyres

I did put the spare on of course, but quite frankly it looks rediculus being that it's only a 135 section tyre plus it makes the car lean heavily to one side.

Hope you all had a good time, and I guess I'll have to try and catch you at the January meet.

I wonder how many people have actually risked driving with the space saver fitted.... It does look ridiculously small.... I wonder how many 'tards have wrecked their positraction by fitting to the rear too...

A couple of weeks ago one tyre on my Formula was totally flat. Tried pumping it up but it was just leaking around the rim

Unfortunately I was working in Bracknell and hubby was working in Gloucester, so had to use two cars. As we still can't drive the Astro and the Trans-Am wasn't taxed the only option we had was to use the space saver - mmmmmmmmm wasn't a fun journey for hubby at 50 mph all the way.

No problems now though as I've had 4 new tyres fitted this weekend

I got new tyres put on the back of the 'maro and within a week I picked up a screw, luckily the garage I bought the tyres from were able to plug it, and did the job for free...

Yeah the spare certainly doesn't look safe. Sure it's fine as long as you don't drive like a tit though.

Gonna see if I can get it repaired, not sure if I can though as it's pretty close to the sidewall.

Still at least it's an excuse to go and get some MT ET Streets for it ready for the SRS next year. Only thing is I wanted them for more track than street use and I haven't bought another set of rims yet that I want to run Nitto's on (from other thread).

I get rid of my space saver as I know I wouldn't use it. Give me more boot space too
