Absolutely right @Lightwater. Of course if I were planning a trip 1000 miles from help, I’d be provisioned appropriately.

Getting itchy. What's next?
2014 Land Rover HSE Lux (blend of practicality and aggressiveness)
2007 XKR (Jaguar Racing Green) (woo hoo!)
2004 XJR (Jaguar Racing Green) (deceased)
2002 S-Type R (British Racing Green, of course)
1951 Riley RMD (Black, time for that restoration)

Unusual spare wheel I think you will agree
