Jesus, why on earth did you let that tyre get so bad! 
It was down on air, the rest of the tyre was fine
Today has been a pain in the arse!
Firstly I went to the local breakers yard to get a clean parcel shelf, was told there were loads of MK3 out back! Spent about half an hour looking for one, turned out there was one right behind the garage!! It had a black shelf in it but was filthy, I thought it'd do. Went and asked how much they want for it, he said "£25 I sell them for." Me "How about a tenner?" "No way, £25! They're £120 new!" Me again "How about £15 then?" "I can't go lower than £25" he then said. "Ok then, I can get them off the internet for £20 delivered, so how about £20?" "No! £25 is the price, you'd have to pay delivery charges on that off the internet!" I said no, that £20 includes postage(Loads on ebay!) but he wasn't having any of it so I just put it down and left! I've always heard bad things about this place, a local rung them up asking for a radiator for a V70, "Yh, we've got a 97 V70 being broken up, just come on down!" Got there and it turned out the car had been in a front end impact! What a waste of flipping time!
After this utter pointless endeavour I went to get the part worn tyre I got the other day fitted. The fitters checked it over and it looked fine but when they put it on the wheel and tried to inflate it no luck. There are 2 splits in the outside wall rendering the tyre useless! I had to get a brand new cheap as chips tyre there and then as my existing tyre was down to the canvas.
Very annoying!! Complaints will be made!!
The new look
Tried to edit them slightly but it's just showing the unedited ones (fixed!), plus I found a shelf on ebay for £10 plus £7p+p!
