Default 997 rescues the F430 Spyder

A 997 and a F430 Spyder are on the side of the road...which one needs the flatbed?


You guessed it...


Had a quick rip over lunch and decided to zig instead of zag and explore a new country road. Beautiful scenery but full of potholes.


An F430 Spyder had the same afternoon program but wasn't as lucky dodging the potholes. I saw him on the side of the road and figured something was up. Turns out he blew out his right front tire. I pulled over to help and got to crack open my air compressor kit for the first time. The German are waaaaaay more organized than the Italians. He was significantly impressed with my little kit and the compressor worked like a charm. Unfortunately his tire was off the rim so we had to call the flatbed.


Ended up driving him home and made a new Ferrari buddy. His Ferrari club organizes drives every other weekend so I told him I would get a few 997s to tag along as their tow vehicles :-)

Now if you had a little can of starter fluid and you pulled the tire off and rednecked seated the bead that would have been super impressive
