Our first encounter with a flat tyre
| Saturday, February 28, 2009

As a co-car owner, never really give a thought on what to do when we encounter a flat tyre. Except to know the SOP of using the gel to seal off the punctured hole. (Our car doesn't have a spare tyre)

Well.. tonight, it's time to think. Our car's tyre got poke by a nail. Where it happen? No idea, never check on tyre condition before we leave the carpark. We were on our way for our dinner at ABC Brickworks hawker centre. After driving some distance, where the steering wheel was getting heavier and heavier, we finally stopped in the hawker centre carpark. There the tyre was slowly hissing away...

Oh no... we got a punctured tyre...
Question: What to do, when you get a punctured tyre?
Is it..
(A) Female's first reaction: "Call AA"
(B) For Male's first reaction: "Call car enthusiast brothers / another car owner for advice"

Answer: (B) , cos it saves $ & it's a quick fix.

We were lucky, that the leak is not very fast, hence we drove slowly to the nearest petrol kiosk and pump the tyre pressure to 200kpa. When the tyre is pumped up enough, we drove slowly towards a 24hr tyre shop in balestier (got the info from bro-in-law, that's why B is the correct answer). Along the way, we made 1 more pit stop to re-fill the tyre with air.

Finally, we made it to tyre shop, it just took the mechanic 5min to remove the nail and paste a "handyplast" onto the tyre.

To all car owner readers, keep a list of 24hr tyre shop in your glove compartment or save it onto your GPS, cos you never know when you need it.

Grumpy
Grumpy Bear frowns a lot
that's his way to show us how silly we look when we frown too much.
He also shows that it's okay to be grumpy sometimes.
But even when we're grumpy, we're still loved, and we're reminded of that by Grumpy Bear's symbol : a rain cloud with heart-shaped raindrops.
