Broken car and excessive heat

So, if paying £140 for the exhaust wasn't enough, this morning I became aware of a strange steering issue on the way to work. Investigation showed that there was a puncture in the nearside front tyre, caused by a huge splinter of wood. Annoyingly the tyre was unrepairable. The tyre was replaced, but the garage had a look at the other tyres and found that the other front tyre had no tread on the inside. So, on the weekend it'll need to go in for the tracking and yet another new tyre.

Bah.

It's also damned hot. I wouldn't mind but it's really muggy, need a really good thunderstorm to come along and clean up the air.

Watched the first episode of the new Top Gear series. It was pretty good. Shame the steam engine didn't win the race though, but it wasn't far behind. Amazing thing.

This is very cool.
