No just a realist there is no way I could put up with cleaning every 5 minutes, and the osf wheel had a fair chunk out of it, so I thought what the hell and I am a lazy b4st4rd as well

I am waiting for responses of two companies - Toxic Rides and Indigo-GT for black ultralite nuts standard and locking for my wheels.

As soon as I know Simon I will post up or PM you the info.

Default F*#!ing Cats

This afternoon whilst driving out of the cul-de-sac where I live my next door neighbours cat decided it would be good sport to run out in front of my car as I was going to take the car for a quick jet wash of the wheels.

In trying to miss the aformentioned vermin on 4 legs I had to mount the pavement in order to avoid running the p1$$1ng moggy over , as I came back off the pavement I heard a crunch as my n/s/f wheel came off the kerb stone. If the kerb stones in my street were at least straight it would not have happened but they don't run straight so much as snake down the street.

I had a look at all the kerb stones in my street and they are all broken up with jagged edges - I think I will be calling Carmarthenshire CC to rant at them.

If that cat runs out in front of me again I will have no hesitation or guilt about running the creature over and seeing how many of its nine lifes it has left . It would have been far easier to have cleaned lumps of flesh and fur out of the wheel rather than having to take it back in order to get the kerbing damage sorted out.

Oh and my next door neighbour does not want to know either.

About a 2" scrape straight through to the paint/lacquer.

I suppose we live (not for much longer for the cat if it ever tries that again) and learn , just hope I can get the damage repaired before the 16th.

Toxic Rides are having new stock in this week which is not even if there online shop once I get the info back I will pass it on to you.

I won't dignify that post with a 'proper' response.

Congratulations on your 10,000 post as well.
