The 'look at what I did today' thread

I had an epic fail today..

Was putting the OEM ATR/Motegi wheels back on the car today.

First went to jack up the car but the trolley jack broke...

So had to wind the OEM jack (took a lot longer)...

Then on the last wheel, I noticed the tire was punctured (or maybe low on air)

Went to check my boot for the space saver tire but that was also fuckeded up..

Then I thought let me just take that wheel out and put one of the Rota on the car and drive to the local tyre shop but then my OEM trolly jack died too..

So stuck with one punctured tired until I get someone to come with a spare jack or spare space saver>..

I think I've got a spare OEM jack mate

Text me when you're about this week and I'll try to spin over, can collect that intake while I'm there.

How on earth did you kill an oem scissor jack, nitin?

I've done it before, they often twist sideways as you raise the car because they don't move on wheels. I always thought OEM jacks were short life items to help you swap your spare wheel in case of a puncture.
