But as Kirsty mentioned brown stains on the seat. I think Chell was more scared than me traveling behind and seeing the tyre blow out.
Not as scared as i was following them down a road 6ft 6 inch wide (2 metres) with a caravan only 6ft wide.
BLOODY SAT NAVS.
You were pretty lucky anyhow, Do you remember woody, who used to come to the local meets?, indigo bongo with 20" chrome rime and the full chrome bits and bobs?, well anyway I went to fix his caravan for him beofre he moved up to Orkney, blow out same as you but a chunk of the tyre actually smashed up through the wheels arch taking out the wheel arch which in turn took a chuck out from underneath too, and totally destroying his gas cooker , good job hed rememberd to turn it off before hand ,

Re: BIG BASH DOWNSIDE
Glad you're OK Dave
Big thanks to you and Ste for fitting the spoiler. You (or Ste) wanted to know what difference it made. I can now go around roundabouts 40mph faster than before and the mpg has increased considerably - I got about 140 miles for every gallon of diesel I put in between Stourport and Norwich (via Cleethorpes)

Re: BIG BASH DOWNSIDE
Blimey Dave.
You know me late as usual.
But I am still very pleased you are OK.
I didn't realise you had joined the band of tuggers.
That doesn't sound quite right...................
