JCBs aint that bad.....New holland tractors look nicer though :D

that wheel thing does loads of jobs.....
1.holds a spare wheel
2.makes people laugh at your car ('you' being the few people who will actually buy that!)
3.makes people laugh at you
4.damages your bank balance for no good reason
5.gives me something to moan about! :D:D:D

OH DEAR GOD....They're 'avin a laugh ain't they??
'Spare Link'? Missing Link more like! Imaging b*ggering (almost literally) up your lovely MINI with THAT! Suppose it's cheaper than Parking Sensors.

I'll stick with my Run Flat 16's thanks. For the off-chance of getting a puncture, you'd look a complete kn*b.

I was at a Classic car show recently and there was a trade stand promoting a tyre treatment to prevent punctures deflating the tyre - read all the bumf and it seems pretty kosher, costs about £40.00 to treat 4 tyres. I'd risk that or secure a spare in my passenger footwell or in the boot if I was running non run-flats, rather than ruin the looks of the car. Do you get a free tube of MINI Pile Ointment with it?

Wul, this one was "Ultraseal" - company is Ultraseal Scotland, they have an Agent 5 mins from my house - probably same sort of stuff I'd guess. see them on: www.nomorepunctures.info

By the time I get to non runflats, they'll have closed down!
