    I kerbed front and rear alloys on my Corrado a few years ago avoiding a pillock who pulled out of an entrance with high walls either side without looking. It was dodge or T bone the bugger and I instinctively dodged.
    Said pillock didn't stop of course.

    They didn't look too bad, but the tyre place I've used for years (and trust) said they were a clear write off and probably the tyres too.

    That was £400 a corner as fortunately the wheels were still just about available and 2 new tyres at £350 each. It's damn annoying when that sort of thing happens.

            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              Mistakes in order:-

              1. You have a woman driving your car

              2. You expect her to drive to the same standard as you

              3. Her spatial coordination was deficient enough to cause damage to you offside wheels

              Sounds cheaper than a divorce - you're quids in!

                ...... mindless ranting drivel.......

                  Trying not to be horrible, but my girly had about 20 anti-stalls on the main street of the nearby village, in the end it went to time-out, refusing to do anything for 10 minutes, and we just laughed.

                  You should learn to chill.

                  Don't put your pride and joy in something that will rust: remember one day, when you've moved on to that next status symbol, it'll end up being driven very badly by spotty faced youths.

                  To help you in this, when the wheels are repaired, have her drive it home.

                  Also so you'll not have that sudden braking when she forgets it's not got a clutch: ask her to slap herself on the left leg; it's a little trick so she remembers it's an automatic.

                      The stupidity of most people in this world is quite stunning.
                      World first. I agree totally with SASGuru. It must be the Glenlivet making him more tolerable.

                      Good post.
