Yes I have the correct boot floor panel....I have had the car from new and the spare as an option......it is the diameter which poses the problem and even Maranello couldn't get the tyre back to its original size. Yes we removed the valve, put a strap round the perimeter and pushed and shoved to get the tyre as small as possible. Still doesn't fit totally back in the well!

Yes relying on recovery services really depends where you are likely to be when you get the puncture, i had a puncture (and no spare) trying to catch a ferry off Mull and that was... well... interesting. I now have one of the Ferrari space saver spares.

It never crossed my mind when I did the NC 500 until the wife asked about a spare!!!!
