A night at the theatre is very nice, mate!

Sadly it's back at work today and the realisation that I'm back to life in general :D

Some pics from yesterday, sadly the "kill all tyres" mantra extended to my own car on the M25 on the way home last night :(

We also both have some brilliant go-pro in car footage with telemetry which I'll post up on youtube shortly.

ouch Paul...that tyre looks awful! :shock:

was there a puncture elsewhere leading to a sudden deflation, or is that big rip the primary failure?

No it was a bolt in the rear tyre which I think we picked up in the roadworks on the M23 near Gatwick. This led to a gradual deflation and general destruction of the tyre getting to a relatively safe place to stop. I was then recovered home on a AA truck as there's no spare.

That scenario on the M25 is not one I wish to repeat! Bloody dangerous place.
