Crikey - I could feed my whole family with that!!!!!


Today I have to go and get my tyre repaired - it has a great big screw sticking into it. Luckily OH noticed it was flat, and changed the tyre for me - I did help, honest - but it is more expense that I don't need.

Went to get the tyre repaired - ended up having to have 2 new tyres- $468

Scraps for tea and beans for the next month to pay for it.

It is an SUV - however it doesn't have 4 wheel drive, but still has to have the same tyres. I don't get cheap refurbished tyres either, I like to have new and safe ones. They don't make them any more- it is a good car- a Hyundai Tucson. Remember where I live they charge more than elsewhere - they think everyone round here is rich.

I only have a little ford focus - hopefully no where near that cost, but something I hadn't thought about. At least you're all fixed and good to go again

Yeah, I have a Tucson too! Great car. 16" tyres are always pricey. I have only had to put two new ones on since being in Oz in almost 3 years. The back two almost need replacing now. So not too bad overall.

I got KUMHO KL51 23560R16 on now and seem to be fine.

1000 miles away from tires, today has been a once in a lifetime.

Up at Ningaloo and swam with whale sharks, manta rays and saw several humpbacks. The big three the locals tell me.

The manta rays put on the best show.
