I can't take credit for this saying ... Someone else posted it on this Forum, crediting his father -

The front flicks, the rear picks.

It is true.

Fresh new tires (tyres) have a tendency to attract nails a lot! It's the newness of the tread--not a little truant!

Car looks great congrats! Enjoy it and try to look forward.

As for tires, I've gotten 3 nails in 3 months . 2 were repairrable and one wasn't. These wide rears pick them up like crazy.

Good to see you are back with a repaired P car. I am one of the diaspora Scots living in North Carolina. However, all is not lost I will be wearing my kilt at the Burns Supper this Saturday night.

First your car looks just fantastic, as for the nail in the tire that's another maybe he got a way with it. Time for a security camera...

Maybe it's time that the insurance industry look at lobbing for a law that before anyone can have/adopt ext a child they have to take out product liability insurance to cover the cost of their poor parenting. I'm tired of paying for their kids/adults that run a muck... And I'm being PC.
