Well I hope everybody's New Year got off to a better start than ours.
We'd taken the bus over to Hastings for the NSRA New Year Celebration/Inebriation, returned home Friday, New Year's day.
Some rotten mongrel has swiped my spare tyre, and I have not (as yet,) been able to source a new rim.
Nett result - stuck on the side of the road just south of Patea for three hours with a blow-out...until Joe Bourke, the nice man from Universal Motors Patea came to our rescue with a second-hand tyre.
Thanks Joe!johnboy

Well that's a sorry lot that takes something that's not his, but to take a guy's spare wheel/tire takes a really rotten sort of person. You're looking for a wheel for a Chevy Dually, which one would think would be easier to find than one for an old Ford chassis, but then again, who knows.

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Man, what a bad deal! One of our vans went to Indianapolis this summer and returned with no spare tire. I figured it was just a here problem. Nope, it's a dirt bag problem and they're everywhere!Ryan

Thanks for the kind words folks.
It's an irritant when something like this happens, but, let's face it, it's just another hiccough in the grand scheme of things.
Another little jam to work your way out of; and we've been in more jams than a judge at a county fair.johnboy

I gotta say, if that's the worst that happened all year, it must have been a good year.
May the next be as good!.
Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

I wanted to complain about this NZ slang business, but I see it was resolved before it mattered. LOL..
