Feck ! I've broken the car...

...my mother's car that is 
Mrsd (jnr) has just come back from the barn with some rather bad news. Earlier on we ran over some wood that fell from the (badly balanced, badly loaded, badly maintained
) trailer in front of us. And now there's an egg sized bulge in the sidewall of the F/NS tyre on the beemer 
Decent tire fitter within striking distance of Bakewell anyone ? (Mum's lads (oo-er) on holiday ATM)

That's a bugger Jaydee.

Popped a tyre on my mum's motor last saturday going up a kerb. 53 quid it cost me
And space saver spare tyres. What a load of crap they are. The one in the Yaris affords less grip than a cartoon bannana skin.

Awwww. No useful suggestions to get it mended ? (I'll settle for non-useful general sympathy ???)
....I'm still recovering from shock, because upon reading the thread title and it being under your name, I was thinking - "Oh, please - not the F1..."
Ah, all better now. Commiserations, etc, etc...

I'm just impressed that you're able to send MrsD (jnr) to make an assessment of such a thing. 
Glad you're getting it sorted OK. Hell hath no fury like a MrsD with a broken car...
1) Nope, she was just getting something from the barn and happened to notice it. She couldn't even tell the insurers what model her car was last week
2) Damn right

Surprised to hear about the space saver, what BMW is it, I've always found a matching alloy in the boot of any I've had to deal with, except Z's
M5 and no, I don't think it's supposed to have a spacesaver

Let me guess. Erm Well it's blue. It's got 4 doors. (It's a hatchback) It's a Manual. Nope Not a Clue !
She only knows the reg cause It's a private one with her name ! (12 th wedding aniversart present1)
I removed the badges off my Astra and My wife and her sister were convinced this was illegal because the police would not know the type of car they were chasing !
