Sunday Blast (Started well, ended ..........)
Decided to use the car out for a nice Sunday blast today, as the weather was great....
The day started off great.......... but ended with the car being taken home on the back of a flat bed truck with me stuck in the M5 traffic for 3 hours !!
We were driving down to Exeter on the back roads to go to an airfield so the wife could do a sky dive, which went well . When we got down i went to get something from the car only to notice the back rear tyre was flat . I got the compressor out and inflated the tyre only to hear the air rushing back out. Rather than mucking about with the tyre sealant i decided to call Porsche Assist. To their credit they were very good, and within an hour the guy arrived. He was unable to fix the tyre as a nail had entered the tread and was sticking out the inner side wall. Basically the tyre was dead . This meant that a flat bed truck was required to lift the car back home, and thus resulted in a very pissed off wife and two kids as we had to wait for an hour and a half for the truck.
Anyway i now have the car safely tucked up in my garage with no damage. I was very worried about having the car lifted onto a truck as it has the sports PASM and hence catches everything. Just need to get the wheel to a tyre fitter this week to get robbed for the price of a new tyre
