There is no spare on the latest car nor anywhere to put one

I bought a car like that once ... never again. I think we have to
accept that manufacturers are going to fit space savers, but the gunge
really isn't worth having if you do motorway miles

Just wondering how often you've used the spare? Actually *had* to?

At a spares day with my Rover car club, I bought a beautiful spare from a
car which had been written off. Obviously for show, as the lettering on
the tyre had been painted in using white. And the tyre perfect - although
not the same make as mine. I think in the mid 90s. Never been used. ;-)

I have had slow punctures, but never so bad it couldn't be pumped up and
driven to have it fixed.
