I met a chap today with a caterham 7 in a Petrol station.

He was a bit snobby but I chatted to him anyway.

I noticed he had a spare wheel, so I asked him how he'd change it. He said he wasn't carrying (and doesn't ever carry) a wheel brace or a jack. How is he supposed to fit the spare? What's the point in even carrying it?

Moreover, do you locost guys carry a jack if you carry a spare? Do you just rely on the fact that you can lift a corner of your car, and that you'll have something to prop the car up on?

Just wondering!!

AA can change the wheel for him, otherwise he will have to pay for a call out fee for a tyre company.
