It all started with the might Phantom having a flat tyre... There were 4mobile store guys with the car who were SO dumb and who had no value at all of the beauty that they stopped by the road side right in front of a small tyre shop, where the guy dnt even hear about tubeless tyres. The MS guys called out the tyre shop guy (who was like....!!!!) and asked him to fix it as they had no spare tyre to run with. By this time me, xinome got there and got some sense into the MS guys and told them that we'll call a good mech form a good tyre shop and told them to wait till then. So then, this mech comes with the usual jack thinkin its a routine job, but boy was he surprised!!! No one had a clue how to remove the wheel or do anything to it. Finally somehow, they first raised the suspension, and then raised the car slowly and got the wheel off. But then, everyone were like...'now what do we do??' No one has the equipment to fix it cuz the tyres valve was broken. Anyways, they took the tyre back to the tyre shop abt 3kms away in their MB Qualis (escort car). So we were talkin with the MS driver there and he dnt have an idea what half the stuff in that car are for!!! But one thing he knew was it was very expensive and has done a lot more miles than any Phantom in India. All this took a good 1hr plus so we decided to leave as there was no point in waitin there as everyone knew not much could be done to it.

And i have to say all this is so much of a shame to the car and to RR... Man, givin a freakin' expensive car to a guy who repairs and fixex autoricks' tyres!!! But then, this would happen ONLY IN INDIA!! YAY!
