"Calling International Rescue"...
This moring at Lurker Control, we recieved an urgent call. "I've got a flat tyre, can you come and help". What? Is the ultra-reliable (sic) Vectra-mobile in trouble? Load Lurker-1 with a trolly jack and a wheel brace and head out on a direct course to Bracknell! "We'll be with you in 15 minutes" came the reply.
Fourteen and a half minutes later, a rumble was heard. Lurker-1 arrives at the scene... that tyre was flat all right. A 15mm No.8 screw had pentrated straight through the sidewall. Flat as a very flat thing. Nothing for it but to fit the spare. Lucky we brought the extending handle socket handle thingy. Those goons at Kwick-Phit had tightened the wheelnuts to 5 million lb-ft of torque (as usual). Pah! Nothing the Lurker crew can't handle. 10 minutes and a cardboard cup of coffee later the Vectra-mobile was on it's way. Mission accomplished, FAB Vergil! (whoever he is...)
Any time any place anywhere... You'd better believe a 40 year old VW can save the world...
