Don't know if this counts or not, but I have been a passenger on a 737, never driven one though !!!  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

i only responded because of the patronising comment that was made to me to be honest

If it was me that made the patronising comment then i apologise, it wasn't intended that way. Mind you the term "box ticker" could also be construed that way but I have a thick skin after years in the crewroom environment.

Anyone can store their tyres however they like. I don't have a spare set so it isn't an issue for me. If I did I would be very careful becuse wheel vibes on an RRS can be really hard to fix and the car seems to be sensitive to tyre issues.

thanks for the response, it was the manner in which the post was worded that read like "prove that you know what your talking about" so I responded

no hard feelings either way hopefully

Ahhhh harmony restored at last, a warm fuzzy feeling coming on

Whats the point in carrying a spare wheel and tyre around all the time if its flat

Ady...... Enough! In fact Enough about bloody storing tyres !!!! 

Foxy you obviously haven't been bitten by the tyre stockpiling bug, yet!

Is this something that I should expect to be at somepoint... i Cant even jack my own car up, in fact i couldnt even lift the spare tyre out of the back of the FFRR when i once had a puncture... 

Absolutely!! It gets in your blood. SWMBO is proud as punch that she can stack tyres 5 high.

please clarify flying experience before posting!!!

I did once get "high" on a long and lumpy home rolled "ciggy" - does that count

BTW, my tyres are carefully stored in a controlled environment - our back garden - and it looks like one of them died when I wasn't looking.

So that's why you wanted a rubber mat for the boot.........wheel transporting  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

You'll need a decent sized boot for wheel & tyre collecting, not your teeny weeny RRS one!! There are advantages to driving a Pikeymobile, you can get 10 in there with all the seats down!
