Default New S80 let me down in a way today!

Had a flat tyre on the motorway after a member of the public flagged me down at 70mph to say I have a flat

This is as far as the "in a way today" is concerned because I felt nothing despite the tyre being at 10psi!

How it let me down?
Opened the boot - no tyre
not even a space saver
Just a foam thing as far as I could see


Totally useless on a motorway with no service stations and at 7pm where there is no tyre places open!

Made it to a petrol station at 20mph with hazards on , filled up the air and drove home.

Cant take time off tomorrow so I'll have to drive to work (3 motorways ) at 70mph with a damn nail in the tyre

Wish me luck!
