I found a little sheet-metal screw in my 17" runflat. Little bugger right in the middle of the tread. I found a little BMW/Mercedes shop locally and got them to plug it. When it came time to pay

"Whaddo I owe ya?"

"A ride around the block."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I want to take it for a ride around the block."

Cool mechanic and I go buzzing around the block, testing the limits of braking and acceleration. He had a big grin when we came back. I offered a tenner for his time & he refused. Little shops, like little cars, rule.

I love this car!

Jeff

Fix a flat $10, a ride around the block on a MINI priceless.
