Run of Bad Luck

And just to really remind me that it is Friday the Thirteenth, my car develops a flat tyre this afternoon. Just brilliant. Luckily it happened on Honcho as I was turning a corner rather than tonning it on teh expressway. And changing the tyre wasn't too difficult, even if teh bolts had tried their best to rust in place. The main problem now is that the spare wheel is little better than a pram wheel, look:

And also the tracking is fecked, so the car veers to one side like a shopping trolley. So even if I had the money for Niigata this weekend, I wouldn't feel safe driving up in my car as it is now.
