Default It won't polish out!

Went to TESCO on Western Avenue today in the Eunos to get petrol for tonight's meet. On the way back I decided to head up to Whitchurch as I had 20 minutes spare, and to pop in and see my daughter.

Anyway at the junction I am in the left lane, left indicator on, look right and a big truck is beside me. He pull's off and so do I.

BUT, he's turning left too .

I swerve to avoid him, panic and pull in as he's still moving left and hear the distinctive noise of alloy on curb . Just past the junction I pull into the layby and he's off through the traffic all I can see is a blue canvas and the **** end disappearing in the rain.

Near side rear




Near side front


So, I have to put the Daisy Eunos wheels on tomorrow but they need two tyres, Sardis Road Tyres are doing me some Falken's then down to Renowheel in the afternoon .

Big dent in the Scoob fund but not as big as the one's in the Enkei's .

£198 + VAT each without tyres and they may take some time to arrive as the 14's are as rare as hen's teeth. But I know Renowheel won't be cheap but he's a wizard with Aluminium Alloys.

How much has he quoted you? Mate of mine took a Fiesta wheel to him with more damage than that and the price was very reasonable.

Lee, you would not believe how f**ked off I am. I have to take it to Rally Day with the spare wheels . Got the tyres sorted on the spare wheel's though this morning, top deal for two Falken's at Sardis Road, £78 all in .

Off to Renowheel tomorrow with the casualties .
