I was about to get into the car this morning to go and pick Mandy up from her parents house in Aberystwyth when I noticed that the Octavia had a puncture on the front passenger side. Then I looked at the back wheel on the same side and saw that it wasn´t flat, but it had a slow puncture in it.
So after phoning my Dad to see what I should do I set about changing it, although I had to move the car onto the pavement as my driveway is quite steep. However, once I had started to change the front wheel the back wheel was totally flat. Two flat tires on the same side! I must have driven through something nasty.
So anyway, what I did was get my Dad to give me and the front wheel a lift to a garage where we got the tire repaired, took this wheel back to the car and swapped it for the back wheel. We then drove into the garage in my car and got the back tire repaired. Actually, the back tire had a 2 inch screw stuck in it and it was too close to the wall to be able to repair it. So the guy at the garage sold me a spare tire that had been repaired for the cost of the repair. This was a bargain as the tire was almost new.
I finally started off to Aber at about 4PM and as It has been snowing for the past few days so I was a bit apprehensive about travelling as I thought I might get stuck in the snow, but it went well. Although there was quite a bit of snow around Shrewsbury.
