144B suffered a setback courtesy of I-40 in New Mexico. Just east of Tucumcari around 4am Mountain, the M5 lost pressure in a rear tire. Given that the spare in the car was for the front and wouldn’t clear the rear Brembo caliper, Alex, Liz and Andrea had no choice but to call for a flatbed to haul the Interceptor into Amarillo, Texas for a tire change. We’ll update you as soon as they’re back on the highway. In the meantime, are they brave enough to tackle the 72-oz. steak?
UPDATE: As of 13:27 CDT, the crew was back on the road, across the Texas Panhandle and headed for Oklahoma City.
Hope you got to get some sleep…
Good luck with the rest of the journey.
Good thing you didn’t disable that tire pressure warning!
Let’s hope they can keep it aired up for test days next week!
Stay away from those tractor engines Alex! :))
Who is Andrea Zurek? Should I know her?
Flats on cars like the M5 are always bad because the tyre dealer never has the right tyres on stock!!!
