sorry for all the hassles guys. it sucks that this happened, especially when i was about to have a rare opportunity to drive beside an SLR!
i think the tire must have recently been damaged by something because earlier that morning my TPMS monitor flashed just after leaving richmond and i had to add some air to that tire.

anyways, i dropped the car off for servicing today (didnt see u there sam!) and new tires will be slapped on tomorrow or wednesday and ill be ready to rock again!

i also want to thank you guys for sticking around and helping me change the tire so that i could drive home. Team AMG pit crew rocks!

BTW whats up with the pics of my butt!?

Which shop were you planning on going to? There's a couple of good options for you to consider. One is Advance Motorsport in Coquitlam. Depending on where you're located with Greater Vancouver, Schwarz Autowerks in Richmond is also another option.

Vintage car race OR an all-Aston Martin event?

Crabpot is a given, then maybe some cold stone for desert!
we definitely should meet up with some seattle guys. i think theres a few E55 guys that meet up as well.

as far as the drags, looks like the test and tune days for the summer are on wednesdays and fridays, so it might be harder to do. we could leave on friday and hit the drags at 4pm!

here is their schedule

maybe we can set a date to go down!
