Flat Tyre

[N47HAN]

Ok, So I have to go to the Airport in a while, One problem got a flat tyre .

The truck is parked on my drive and cannot be driven untill the tyre/wheel has been changed.

Any numbers of who to call in the Thalang Area ? I 'm near the Monument.

Thx.

Probably a silly question, but can't you put the spare tyre on with the supplied jack? Or, are you a girl's blouse and don't know how?

I am rarely at a loss for words but I am now.

I would be so ashamed to admit I couldnt change a tyre on a car!. When the wife of old wanted to drive the first thing she learnt was to change a wheel. What would you do if you got a flat miles from anywhere? stay there till you died? I think its about time you took it upon yourself to learn.

Yup, two things that real men must know how to do. Stop a drippy tap and change a tyre.

Better buy a pink frock and call yourself Susan.

Don't Get Caught Unprepared on the Road

I always like to be prepared for anything. The last thing I want to be is stranded on the side of the road.

I ordered the Safety Girl Kit ($29.95, safetygirl.com) which is a cute little lunch box filled with everything from water to instructions on changing a flat tire and to jump start a dead battery. Plus this kit comes with a emergency blanket.

I already have the traditional road side kit but I thought this would be great to have too.

When is your next birthday???

Ok , Just so you guys can rib me a bit more,

Sent my wifes brother to go and find a shop ( not too many open on a sunday ) he has just arrived back with three people to replace / change the tyre and wheel.

And they must age in range from 8 to 14 !

P.s Changing the wheel wasn't the real issue it was the tyre honestly !

[H2oDunc]

You change both at once mate. Dont forget to go to the garage and get the flat tyre, which is now your spare repaired so next time you get a flat you have a good spare! I think also you need to change the name from Nathan to Natalie

[N47HAN]

Well Its Done !

300 Baht all in.

Now why would I want to take away a Job from the local community ?

Ill upload a picture when I get chance

Thanks for all youre continued ribbing guys ,

It would appear I am the only one never to change a wheel then ?

Oh well never mind , seems some of you had a smile today at me anyways

Yours Natalie

oops I mean Nathan.

I can empathise with you Nat Have had so many flat tyres here I lost count. Depending on the car (I've driven many, from company vehicles to hire cars) - there was either no jack OR the dead wheel was secured so tightly that it took five 'industrial' strength onlookers to loosen the bolts. My last flat near Chalong Circle only took three helpers and 60 baht to repair the puncture...

Always an adventure!!!

yep Nate, how many of these blokes would know how to change a tyre, or change one with split rims.

changin a wheel is easy, and I have done it out in the bush minus a jack(for reasons that still escape me).

Hey, wait a minute - we just got saddled with a flat last week on our way to the Arlington Music Festival. We pulled over to the side of the road and fixed it with a jack and a spare; all girls.

My father must be a real man because he made sure his daughters knew how to change a flat tire.

Yes, that's scary, which is why my friend ended up getting all of her tires replaced and asked them to secure them by hand, not machine. I would be really afraid of being at the mercy of mechanics anywhere, but especially in LOS.
