Exclamation

Can someone show me a picture of the Gold version P1 alloys? I'm considering them but would like to see a set first.

Cheers

Well - the new wheels and tyres were nice whilst it lasted.......driving home through the floods last night - VERY carefully - despite the fact that I have mentally logged all the potholes on my commute - some been there for months - I hit a huge new one (front offside) that was hidden by a puddle. Despite being while I was turning into a side turning so only at about 15mph it felt like it had ripped the suspension off.

Jacked it up when I got home and can see no visible signs of damage to wheel or tyre there may of course be hidden internal tyre damage (a favourite cause of high speed blowouts at a later date). Tracking may have been altered so will keep a check on tyre wear (or have the tracking checked).

Two other people on my train alone wrecked tyres in the last few days in the same pothole!!

Fecking local authorities!!

Council tax band "F", pay a bloody fortune, no kids, no local amenities (not even streetlamps!), and the to55ers can't even send someone round with a wheelbarrowload of tarmac and fill the bloody potholes

....update on the potholes - discovered another hidden one this morning - this time the NSF wheel crashed into it instead - so with a bit of luck if the tracking was out from the first time it has knocked it straight again.

This was after Carolyn and I getting our Scoobs sandblasted FOUR times between us by gritting lorries this morning.......there have been a few emails of discontent heading to Essex County Council Highways dept from me over the last few days......
