Del Vikings: Flat Tire

Small Story - 9 March 2025

Mrs Tea at Johnny's and I had plans to drive to Bristol this week. However, not much further than 100 yards from our house the car flagged up a tyre malfunction warning.

I got out to take a look and the near side rear tyre looked a bit saggy but far from flat. I decided to drive to a petrol station and see if putting some air in it cleared the error. 

When I got out this time the problem was clear - a screw embedded in the tyre. It was an easy decision not to drive on the motorway in that state so straight back home and a new tyre ordered. We'll try again.

Del Vikings (or The Dell-Vikings or The Del Vikings, or The Del-Vikings) were an American doo-wop group that had a few US hits in the 1950s.

My copy of Flat Tire, originally released in 1958, is on a single with The Hi-Liters fantastic Dance Me to Death on the other side which came out in 1984 for some reason.
