Hi ppl, went for a cruise down the coast tonite, had a pretty good nite, saw a few lines about. about 5k from home I got a flat tyre. i thought alright, first wheel change on the skyline (yay).
Got the dodgey yellow spare out, it looked alright except it was a bit rusted on the inside of the rim. Went to get the jack out and it was missing the windey thing. So i rang my dad to come down with the jack from home. (he wasnt too happy, this being at 1.45 in the morning.)
waiting for about ten mins i saw MSP51 drive past i think (i gave u a wave), but u kept driving :S. Dad got there with the jack which decided to sh!t itself so we had to use the jack from the back of his car. Finally got the wheel off and the spare back on after f@rking about cuz ther wasnt much light and we were on a bit of a hill. on the way home taking it easy, the spare clapped out about 3ks from home. I'm like, this is f@rked, what do we do!!!!
Was almost gonna call SHY32 to see if i could borrow her spare (but i didnt want to because it was about 2.15am). So dad took the spare off while i drove his car to the servo to fill up the proper tyre with the screw in it. Raced back and put it back on the skyline very quickly (just like in formula 1) with the tyre leaking, i got it home - just. luckily i was close to home.
just a bit of a lesson, check your spare every now and then, and make sure u have the right tools.
I am going to the shop tomorrow to get a wheel brace and jack.
also i have to get two tyres fixed. anybody know of a tyre place that is open on sundays???
