What did you do to your Type R today?

went to Macdonalds for a, er....salad at lunch, and in the Drive thru some lads were admiring my car and we had a little chat. It must have gone to my head as I lost all ability to steer round the corner to the paying booth and managed to kerb my alloy right in front of them much to everyone's 'oooouch' awkwardness... Its the same one with a bit more rash on from an earlier event, but still is like a dagger to the heart....

You couldn't drive a greasy stick up a dogs ass!

A bad day for things circle shaped, just got a rear drivers side puncture... I go the tyre pressure warning earlier, but then just reset it thinking it was the usual. Hour later, it felt a bit weird and sure enough flat as East Anglia with the offending nail looking at me...
The pump is very good, and sealant is holding up ok, but lucky I was ten mins from home and makes me want a space saver.
Can this day just run along please.

Despite appearing to park about 18 inches from any kerb I managed to kerb a front alloy last week trying to get a bit closer.
It's was an expensive sounding grating noise. It was light damage it was fairly obvious on the black wheel.
I'm now £80 lighter and going back to my 18 inch rule
(odd thing. Despite the car being bought new it didn't have a jack etc in the little section of the boot where it was supposed to be. The PDI report said it had been checked but it wasn't anywhere to be found. I even had to read the manual incase I was missing something. Dealer gave me another one out of a showroom car so no hassle but might have been a bit more awkward with a puncture or a bent wheel)

No need for jack if there is no spare, you just get a pump and tyre sealant. You can buy a spare tyre kit and that comes with the jack and all of that, but no one has confirmed if the spare clears the Brembos
For Sale: Genuine Honda Civic Type R ( FK8 ) jack. Very (very, very, very) rare item. Manufactured from lightweight Unobtanium. Used once. Offers in the form of sealed envelopes containing bundles of used £5 notes invited. May part-exchange for a Unicorn Horn or something similarly rare.

1st service yesterday at 12months old and 7k ish miles. Only £15 for the loan car insurance - loving the service plan
Not sure if I spotted your wife in the fk8 last week, around half 5 sat at a side junction on Rockingham road, I gave a quick beep of the horn, was my first fk8 spot

Assuming sonic grey, yes, that would have been her on the nursery/holiday club run.
I've seen a red FK8 a couple of times on the B6047 near Tilton-on-the-Hill heading towards Mkt Harb in the morning but i wasn't in ours at the time
. It's the only other one i have seen on the road in 12months.
