Took a late afternoon run for groceries yesterday in the girlfriends car and a couple of minutes up the road we hear this thud and a whole heap of other noises, Kamini just about jumped out of her seat with fright and I'm like what the xxxx was that

First thing that popped into my mind was that one of the tyres must have let go as they are quite old but still plenty of tread, I get out to have a look and the rear left tyre had an 8" piece of steel reo through it made a few deep scratches in the underbody coating in the wheel well and it'd had a go at the brake line but luckily that was still fine

I've got to now go and get a new tyre and spray some protective coating because some thoughtless prick has left/dropped building materials on the road

One of Gonz's KMart Diamondback tyres might do the trick

Probably fell off a ute from that service mob of yours.

Bloody hell, you're on  bad roll.   
Lucky "only" a tire. 
You could go the whole hog and put 4 zirconia-back's on it   

[CraigB]

Nah, it’s an old excel so just one el-cheapo diamondback for $59

Didn’t bring my car out today thinking these things come in three’s

See if he'll send you all four, then he can get something decent!

  don’t let him know till I’m at least on the plane back home

I had a bit of reo punch through the side wall of a tyre and exit out through the rim at 120km/h once.

Lucky it was the rear tyre in a work car.......
