That's right. Another £250 down the pan, even though it's a relatively new tyre - a screw pressed through the shoulder, making a repair impossible.

It could have been nasty though. Due to bravery/stupidity (take your pick), I tend to drive with the traction control switched off, as it's much more of a giggle that way. I hadn't noticed that I'd got a flat on the back until I hit the loud pedal going into a NSL area and I did an amusing 60mph fishtail. If I'd done that around a bend I could quite easily have dumped it backwards into a hedge :-/
