Sorry to hear that, its must have been a right shock to the system.

I had a blow out on the M40 on Thursday whilst driving, ahem, slightly faster than i should have been (below 100 though).

The back right tyre on my VW Golf Estate just went BANG, and i thought at the time that it was one of the cans of Lager i had in the boot exploding, it was only about 10 seconds later when i heard the sound of a flat tyre (after turning down me tunes) that i realsied what had happened. A VERY slow, long turn and decelration later i got myself into the inside lane and put on the warning lights.

You hear so many scare stories about blow outs that i think i got very lucky.

Kudos to my car for holding it together.
