Spin the wheel!

The rear right side of the car is really an unlucky spot. All 3 accidents we've had involved denting that exact spot above the wheel over and over again. Luckily each time we had decided not to bother to repair, otherwise that would really be money down the drain!

About a year ago I somehow managed to somehow puncture the rear right tyre while turning into a carpark. It was totally flat by the time we returned from lunch and had to be replaced.

This time round, *Shinta was the one who punctured the very same tyre (stupid confusing roads at Havelock carpark where you must alternate keeping left and right as you turn!!!). We didn't realise it at first and continued to drive on unsuspectingly (testimony to the Citroen's excellent suspension!). We found out only after we entered a carpark and 3 different groups went out of their way to tell us we had a flat. Never let it be said that Singaporeans are unhelpful!

Anyway, changing tyres is expensive. We ended up changing all 4 wheels because it was "about time". Be careful when you drive!
