How to handle a Flat Tire on an F-40?

Call CAA

 

Relax, pull out the picnic basket from the attached trailer and ask a passing RR for some Grey Poupon.

 

Fix-A-Flat, of course.

 

Option a) Call a tow truck.
Option b) Try one of those tire seal thingys.
Option c) Keep driving, its only an F40.
Option d) Duct Tape.
Option e) Hope that a Ferrari certified technician is driving by with his tool kit and a spare F40 tire.
Option f) Push the car to the nearest gas/petrol station.
Option g) Abandon the car and claim it was stolen.

I'd take option A if I were you

 

What kind of question is this? You would do the same thing as you would do if you got a flat tire in any other car that doesn't have a spare. Call a tow truck, or do what you would do in any other car. If you want to avoid it all together give your F40 to me, and I'll deal with the flat.

take off ur shirt and stand beside the car. i'm sure some hot babes will be passing by..

 

By calling a flat bed. Tire sealant is not suited to the tire sizes found on the F40 and would serve only to make a gooey mess of the inside of your rims.

Sometimes it takes a young person to realize that the Emperor is wearing no clothes as you have.

I try to be as observant as I can.

If this is a serious problem for you, and has truly put sheer terror into you because of the possibility of running into that situation, then leave the car in the garage, and you will never have to worry. I have not gone out of my way to make a mockery of your question. Your question simply did not have any depth to it whatsoever. Can you not see the difference between asking "what should I do in the event of a puncture" in comparison to "There is no spare tire, and even if there was you would need.... to get it off and the spare on, and if you could not then it would be rather difficult because of it's height to get onto a trailer. etc."?

If the car has the adjustable height as the later models have it would be infinitely helpful in said circumstance to get it on a trailer. If not, and the car can not be towed, and you can't find the two men to pull the bar while another holds it in place and yet another holds down the brake, then I suppose you will have to leave your F40 stranded on the side of the road until someone else decides it is valuable enough to make some other sort of effort to help it from its current state.

I'm sorry that you view me as ignorant or full of scorn. I am a very positive person in nearly every thread that I am a part of, here and on virtually every other board I frequent. Some questions are best left unasked, or if they must be asked, they should be asked properly without the feathery wording in order to seem different while completely avoiding the premise of the question.

I wish you luck in the event of a puncture, because I obviously have no other knowledge that I can give to you.

Don't forget to wear the Bowler hat.

You are arguing with a person who is a total *******. He's only responding to you because what you posted is totally true. Never forget what happens to stupid people who blindly follow tradition instead of using their head as your answer shows you do. In 1814 General Jackson engaged the British at the Battle of New Orleans. The War of 1812 had been over for several days but communication was slow and that message had not yet reached General Jackson. Up to that time the British had used a technique of warfare that involved lining up in rows, marching towards their opposition, firing, being shot dead, falling down, and having the line behind them carry on. General Jackson realized that this wasn't the most efficient thing to do. Basically he told his troops to surround them from all sides, wait until they saw the "Whites of their eyes, and fire. This technique was known as the "Killing Box". The fact that the British did not invent the "Killing Box" is not the pertinent one here the fact that when faced with overwhelming evidence that their antiquated technique no longer was going to work against it "They kept a coming" as the popular song that told the tail of the Battle pointed out. The final "score" was a bit sad. Over 3000 British Troops and 6 Americans died that day. You are obviously a young person who is not only able to see thing for what they are and what they are not but is also able to understand what the Bard meant when he said: " Me Thinks the Lady doth protest too much." Your post is right and no matter how many words of bull**** he spews trying to falsely imply my words prove him right or that I am his Comrade he remains full of **** as you've noted.

I've included the lyrics of the song I spoke of which you may find interesting. The tune in quite catchy.

In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in the town of New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down the river and we seed the British come
And there must have been a hundred of 'em beatin' on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood behind our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise
If we didn't fire our muskets till we looked 'em in the eyes
We held our fire till we seed their faces well
Then we opened up our squirrel guns and gave 'em ..Well....we...

…fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon till the barrel melted down
So we grabbed an alligator and we fought another round
We filled his head with cannonballs 'n' powdered his behind
And when we touched the powder off, the gator lost his mind

We fired our guns and the British kept a'comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to runnin'
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Yeah they ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles
And they ran through the bushes where a rabbit couldn't go
They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Do you just sit around thinking of absurd F40 questions to post garbage on these forums? Get a life.
If you get a flat, change the f'king tire. Figure it out.

 

Dude - There's always Fix-O-Flat! Or maybe I should say "You can resolve your dastardly stubborn inflation status with one can of freshly imported atmosphere mixed with tacky, adhesive bonding agents".

 

I am not normally one to criticize your posts, but why bring age into this? Does being 16 mean that I do not know how to do anything except doing drugs and creatng mischief? Believe it or not some of the younger members on this site (myself included) may have something insightful to say every once in a while. Please don't hold our age against us, I am POSITIVE that you were 16 and one point too.

Thank You

 

I think in this case even the older folk knew he was butt naked all along!

 

Ditto.

 

Well said Jim....

C'mon guys, give "Higgin's" a break! The bowler hat must've been fitting kinda snug when the idea came to him.

 

It's probably a good time to open the boot and dig out the "emergency tea set" while the butler goes for help.
