Spare f*cking wheel

[Parksy87]

The spare is there for safety? Christ, bit if a bugger if you have a puncture and then are rear ended!

Personally I wouldn't bother, I've never run without a spare, but I've also had many breakdowns, none of which needing a wheel. Maybe I should carry spare drums/shoes, headgaskets, waterpipes, aux belts, turbos, cams, driveshafts, etc.... But we don't (well, I think ruan does lol), just seems pointless to kerp a spare wheel when there's so many other possible and more likely issues that could arrise. And let's face it, apart from not bring able to crack the nuts when the garage have gunned them to 500Nm but also would you really stand outside you car in the dark and pouring rain trying to get the wheel out of that stupid f*cking rusty cage (after removing the saftey bolt from under all the shit in your boot) then hoping your handbrake works as you have no chok and attempting to change the wheel? More than likely not!!

Thing is if your brakes, water pipes, head gasket goes you've got no choice but to get a recovery where as a wheel can be changed easy and its not like youve got to keep it on the passenger seat, just keep a little trolley jack and breaker bar with a 19mm socket on hardly gonna cause the arse end to drag due to weight is it.
Had a blow out 6am on the m5 front passenger side, balls to sitting on the side of the motorway, lit a fag jacked it up and by the time id smoked it the wheel was changed and i was back on my way to work instead of sat waiting for a rubber necker to cause an accident
