I would like to re-assure everyone that there are good people in the world still and one of them is Peter from Kinglake, a nice gentleman who helped me this afternoon.
I got a flat tyre today and tried to change it on my own as I do know how to do it, however that's not much good when the lugs are on soooooooooo bloody tight that you can't get them undone, especially with the flimsy tool in the jack kit. So I called road side assist and they said it could be about 90 minutes - awesome...
As I was sitting there waiting, after trying again many times Peter pulled up and helped. He had driven past me and about 1km up the road had the feeling that I needed help and so did a u-turn to help me! ::smile::
He got his socket set out of his car and his own jack (a lot bigger than mine!) and even he struggled to get the lugs undone, even with jumping his whole body weight on the lever! He said he used to be a tyre technician years ago and he has NEVER seem lugs done up that tightly which made me feel a lot better!
So yes, there are good people still willing to help a stranger! :D
Now I need a new tyre as it's cactus :(
