Default Ford assist .. are you kidding

Ok .. i left willowbank night fire drags after a great days watching the drags ,Had a BALL : at 11.30 and just got home at 5AM ..

pulled into the BP at morayfeild for a coffee and on the way in there was this HUGE pothole .. post pix later .. to angry anyway bang i hit it and next minute the tyre goes flat so i pull into the servo to find 5 other cars there with dinted rims and flat tyres .. everyones angry but u get that

i get out the jack undo the wheel nuts and 1 has a fpv lock nut ... i go to the glove box ... no ladapter for the lock nut ... check the boot ... no adapter .. hence ot say ive never had a flat and never looked .. the cars not yet 12 monts old and obviously it wasnt put in ... well u get that .. i wasnt angry i just thought id ring for assist and get some help

i go thru all the crap and tell them .. and they say they havent got an adapter .. ok i can sorta live with that

so i ring them back and say .. can u send the guy out and well jsut tap a socket on there and it will come off and i can drive home . i talk to the guy and he agrees as that will get it off ... its all good then he asks what happened "i hit a pot hole and the tyre went down "

OH SOORRY SIR THATS AN INSURANCE ISSUE AND U WILL HAVE TO CLAIM IT ON URE INSURANCE AND GET THE CAR TOWED

WTF

Refused to help at all , wouldnt even send someoone out ..
all i needed was to change a tyre not fix a front end accident


3 hrs later a merceedes hit the same pot hole and he rung his assist and after he got them on the road lent me a 23 ml socket and the lock nut came straight off
so i finally got home

so basically if ure wife is out driving hits a pot hole and gets a flat dont hold ure breath .. cant wait to ring fpv on monday .. im pretty dissed

hope that made sense pretty tired and off to bed
was i expecting to much ?
