So as a bit of a treat for our 25th wedding anniverary yesterday I'm off to Amsterdam in the morning with Jeanette in the Maserati; all booked up ferry from Dover / Calais and a blast up from there; nice hotel booked and Champagne on ice already!
I was sorting the car out this morning and checked the tyre pressures and my nearside front outer edge is borderline thin and I'm a bit jumpy at the expected speeds and mileage so I went to see my tyre man....
This was my first return since leaving with my 'Terminator' eye last month! Really I only wanted a second opinion and a new one on order for my return. Nope as soon as he saw me they lift the Mas up and scrutinize all four tyres, say you couldn't possibly chance that but he hadn't got a new one available today, off comes the wheel a nearly new tyre goes on, ballanced and the car was brought inside and given a five wheel tracking!
He then refused to take any payment again!
Enough already.... Whilst everyone loves a freeby my eye really wasn't that bad and there has been no lasting damage. I am now left in a predicament, what to do?
