Neither of ourse do either. The VW does have space for one under the boot floor, so I suppose I could carry one of the winter ones in the summer and vice versa, but the thing is that these days modern tyres on modern cars just don't get punctures. Of course, I _know_ what'll happen on the way home now...

It was often pointed out as being absurd, at least.

No, coz with no spare, the car ain't moving, but if you fit an illegal one, then it would be able to be driven and you'd run the risk of getting 3 points and a fine. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19
