    Default had a blow-out

    Now, I wonder what some of you were thinking.....

    Left hand front tire on his truck / mobile blew yesterday. Apparently it woke him up a little. Safely brought said vehicle to a safe stop for a quick tyre change.

    He's already well into Qld.

    Cant understand why he would need to change it

    If you listen to him go on and on and on and on and on about real turning i thought a 20 sec burst would inflate any tyre

    Lucky it all ended ok anyway.

    Cheers
    regards

    Would have thought he'd turn the blank down to the rim and fit a new one...

    Or does he describe the tyre as 'a hollow form'???

    Glad to hear he's OK.

    Cheers,

    Coffee used for filling is prolly the only use of the stuff he approves of.

    He was lucky then.

    I saw a semi with a dog have a 'loose' today.
    Lucky he was going slow at roadworks, he went too close to the soft edge & it gave way & just derailed him into a ditch.
    They had to get a grader to pull him out.

    had another blow out, this time it was a big piece of Leichhardt on the lathe.

    There are some pictures but I don't have them.
