not as bad as i would have expected.. would have thought it would have spun or flipped or something horrible

but it just started pulling very badly to the left

bugger.. when i was coming back from maxlive this happened and now back from Trax

so i think my car should never attend a show ever again.. its cursed

big cheers to Ed (my personal taxi)
and huge love to myke to lending me a spare

i love you both very much

Basically the valve has perished, the the rubber was dry and rotten and it just broke off.. The tyre was some wierd name, never heard of it before - but that was perished too...
