What a fucking shit day!

I got lost and in a very tight spot I hit a covered rock, which pinched my front right tyre and blew a 2x3 inches big hole in it. Since this car doesn't come with a spare wheel, I had to reverse down a steep hill, turned an drive very slowly so a AA recovery truck could pick me up.

The lady from the ADAC said it should take about 60-90 min and silly me believed her.
After 3h I rang them again and asked for an update. Another 40min was the answer. Sure…

Then the AA arrived in a Fuel Assist vehicle. He could of course not help me and after some time trying he left.
For some reason did my description of unrepairable tyre not get to the AA.

To cut things short I waited until about 16:00 for a AA recovery truck.
He took me down to a small garage (Nev's Garage - Glan Conwy Corner, Conway Rd, Pentrefelin, Colwyn Bay LL28 5TF) and he and his guys fixed me up.
I also had them to witch the tyres back to front, so the slightly damaged rim is at the back.

The garage doesn't look much but the owner is very knowledgable and kind. Highly recommended if you're ever in that area and need help!

Because of all this trouble I went and got myself first a very good fish and chips, and then a hotel room for the night. Yay
