What did you buy but now dont bring in your Cali ?

Ramps are a must for us. Popaloo is gathering dust.

Don´t be too hasty chucking them out.
I would throw the sealant kit first, the compressor might come in handy.
Order a cradle for the spare wheel and buy a cheapish spare to put in it.

Cali is coming on 18” wheels (not my choice) will a cheap spare be compatible? (I believe there are plenty at Legoland )

Which wheels?, could be up for a swap if you want 17" Cascavels?

Not sure, in one place it says Springfield, in another place it says something else, Tupolo?. It has all weather tyres though, which sound useful seeing as it’s only 2wd ....

Here is Nick Murray in his 911 showing just how effective the VW tyre sealent and compressor combo can really be.

After watching the video, I think a cheap spare might be a good idea! My understanding is a 17” wheel will fit the cage and is big enough for your brakes. Loads on eBay...... collect near legoland.

Yes. I always carry a plug kit though, just in case the spare gets stolen! They work well, but a blown out sidewall (nice motorway!) as in that vid will always be un-repairable even temporarily me thinks...

There’s an idea, I’ll nip down to Legoland and hide in the undergrowth until T5/6 arrives ...
