As you drive your car onto my drive there is quite a pointy square piece of metal which the gate uses as a stopper once closed. The obvious not to do is drive over this with your car and up until yesterday that plan had been working fine. However... lazily turning onto my drive has probably produced many near misses and this eventually a near hit.
I pulled on my drive to be greeted by a loud "psssst". Oh how very annoying for a such a marginal error to have caused a large problem. Fortunately my spare tyre was brand new, I bought it only a few months ago to replace the front tyre which has become rather fond of a screw it found somewhere along the road and has decided to keep it firmly lodged inside it. Any attempt to remove it an the tyre will hiss at you. Anyway, enough digression. I had not got around to replacing the front tyre due to being unable to find the jacking point for the front wheel which according to many searches on the Internet is a pain to find.
However... desperate times forced me to have another luck and discover the very jacking point for the rear wheel which lead me to discover the jacking point for the front wheel also which is indeed handy information.
So the wheel/tyre is all changed and well and now I need to find a place, perhaps later today to get a new tyre and part with some money for the pleasure.
