bit of an update for you. i was in the shops today and she texted me saying she was going to bolton so i texted her saying 'change your tyre, last warning'. after a few more texts she said she'd put the spare on but doesnt know how so ill do it when i get in.

when i arrived my dad had just got home and had changed it over and there was the usual arguing, 'ive been at work all day an now ive got to change some stupid tyre'. however the spare it was replaced with is curbed badly and has a bit of a dink in it and the local tyre garages are shut so i told her to take it easy.

anyway about 10 mins ago she just called me saying the arse end of her car has fallen out on the motorway, turns out my dad didnt put the spare back (underneath the car) and it fell out along with a few other bits. he was in too much of a rush to get on his computer than he was to bolt the tyre back properly!!! he also gave her £40 to get the tracking done and a new tyre but he said get the cheapest one they sold, i called him a dickhead and gave her some more money to buy a premium tyre and a new wheel first thing tomorrow.

I assume she called the cops to clear it all and to make sure no one had crashed or been hurt by it.

Just when you thought it couldnt get any worse!! You have a dangerous family mate.

Seriously though, i dread to think what that could have caused on the motorway. Could have been a lot worse i suppose.
