\nSo there I was leaving for the client’s place bright and early (not quite), streets were mostly empty, should be a nice drive, but no … something was not right. power? gearbox? suspension? It took me all the way to the toll booth before I realised there was an unfamiliar sound (as opposed to one of the many familiar sounds) coming from the car …<\/p>\n

dug dug dug dug dug dug ..<\/p>\n

After a bit realised it felt like it was coming from the rear of the car, and I could not just hear it, but feel it too when my foot was off the accelerator and the car was coasting.<\/p>\n

Flat tyre? The car didn’t handle much differently, and usually some friendly passer by would have flash their lights at me if I was running on a flat tyre. Anyway, I stopped by the R&R and took a loot at all four tyres, and they were all fully inflated. hmm …<\/p>\n

I took a closer look at the rear passenger side tyre … ooh!<\/p>\n

ada paku!<\/p>\n

A bloody big one too. Big enough that it was holding the air in, so I figured I could still drive a way off and have it fixed. Nearest exist was Kota Damansara, and I stopped at the nearest tyre shop I could find.<\/p>\n

This is what I found:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you think that’s bad … this is what came out:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yes that is a 20 sen coin!<\/p>\n

Hmm … Tyres probably need to be change pretty soon too. Anyway, I got it patched for RM5 and was on my way again.<\/p>\n
