Default NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If I fell in a bucket of tit's I would surface sucking my thumb!!!

Went to fill her up today at Western Avenue Tesco's with some 99. Pulled up and the "Pay and Go" pump is Out of Order, so I swing it back around and pull up to Pump 3. Bugger this one is off too!

So, I pulled off and forget that I have steered into the bay.

BANG!!!

Mount the curb with my newly aligned and shiney white wheels
**** the alloy and dent the metal curb edge.



Not a happy bear, Renowheel next week

oh contre! - I was minding my own business along side roath park lake doing about 20mph. As i was on top of one of those little island thingys 3 ducks just ran out - i didn't even have time to hit the brakes.

Made one hell of a noise so pulled over as soon as i could. Bad news is 1 died the other 2 were fine! Good news is there is no damage to the car. After hearing the sound i was expecting some.

On bit of a serious note i did think when i got home about how easy it is for kids/people to run out and get hurt even when your not speeding...i'm sure there is a lesson in there somewhere

Off to Renowheel on Monday. I can use the company Passat for a few days. Probably about £60 for the damage, repair and colour coding!!!

They are a top bunch so report will follow soon.
Don't for get to check out Pump 3's curb at Tesco Western Avenue, the bit that points at the shop Tahnkfully there was some give in the aluminium edge, concrete may have caused more damage.
