How many people does it take to change a Tire?

Question: How many people does it take to Change a Tire. Ok, I did do it once, back in Florida in 1995. I was driving my car down to the supermarket and half where there it must have hit a piece of glass or something. It took me 90 minutes on a Hot July Florida Day to figure out where to put the Jack, change the tire and eventually slice my hand open in the process. Since then I have had alternatives. My beloved Samantha (That’s my Mini) doesn’t even have a Spare Tire. If you get a Flat it has a Pump that is powered from the cigarette lighter. You spray this white stuff in to the tire, pump it up and can drive anywhere as long as you don’t go over 50 MPH. Giving you enough time to get to your destination or your nearest BMW showroom that will help with your plight. Plus they have Roadside Assistance and the last time I got a flat I just called a Man and he came to help (Lucky Bitches).

So realising that we had a flat, I reversed the car off of the hill to the flat and looked for the Jack and Kit in the boot. Plus of course the spare tire. Try as we might we couldn’t figure out how to get the blooming Bolts off the Tire. They seemed to be two sizes too small for the Kit Provided. Eventually a Very Hot Latino came to our assistance and showed us where we were going wrong. Somewhat covered in dirt and a full 30 minutes later our tyre was changed. We showered, Changed and headed into Almancil to get the Puncture fixed. Not really sure how we would explain ourselves in Portuguese we tried the simple approach, "Do you speak any English?". To our relief, "A Little", Came the reply. And in less than 20 minutes a very friendly team of mechanics had checked the wheel, fixed the puncture.

We decided that as the sun was nearly done for the day a trip into Old Faro would be fun, and found ourselves lost in a Maze of one way streets. With a gale brewing and our stomachs hungry for some food we made our way to the Mall and a fabulous Mexican Restaurant that served 6 Euro Fajitas. Delish! Adjacent to the Mall was a Jumbo Hypermarket and we were virtually out of essentials, Dishwasher Powder, Champagne Water. So we stocked our trolley plus some fresh vegetables too and found ourselves cruising back up the motorway at the latest we had been out all week. Arriving at sunset at 2045. Unpacked, Cracked open a bottle of bubbly and settled in to watch the movie of the evening, tonight: Hitch - With Will Smith. Emily has just retired and with the weather supposed to be hotter than we have had yet, where planning an early start of Breakfast on the Beach as Lucky Bitches do! Goodnight. x
