That was me with the flat tyre on the Westgate today - VicRoads turned up and I had to crawl across. The rim was fine, but the tyre was shredded- luckily I just got a good set of tyres off my buddy Heath (mate, the home-brew is nearly ready.

VicRoads man had the cheek to say he wasn't surprised it was a Range Rover, so I asked him how many RR breakdowns he'd been called out to and he said I was the first. I said it didn't count as mine was only a flat tyre - he admitted he was wrong and that he'd judged the car by what he'd heard, not what he'd experienced.

Hmmm... Home Brew :)
Glad the Tyres are getting some use... about to fit the Cooper STT Offroads on this afternoon as I have another "everyday" car at the moment.

I'm always paranoid of getting a flat somewhere like that. :o Glad everything (mostly) worked out! Such a dangerous place to stop...
