gargoil Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Was out in the Lupo this morning and was doing about 60 along an a class road when a f%^&ing artic. truck pulled right out in front of me from a junction. I hit the brakes and swerved onto the other side of the road and hit the kerb at an angle.My wheel alignment is ****ed and cost me £25 to have fixed and my Bathurst alloy is scored to f£$k!! Worst of all the **** didn't even stop, probably didn't even realise I was there. Going to order a brake upgrade I think as the brakes didn't seem to stop the car too well! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gargoil Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Just went out and checked the car and I think the tyre is going soft as well! Its less than a month old! Excuse the language...*******, crap ,C&*t, F%^KAnyone know how much a Bathurst is, about £250 or somethin' like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted February 23, 2004 Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 There are some people selling Bathursts in the for sale section - if u want to buy, let me know - I'd be interested in getting at least one spare so maybe we could split them.Sam's wheels look interesting (the Bathursts) - Matt was offering a full set a while ago for £250.Edit: Oops - they're not Bathursts... maybe Matt's are still up for sale??

gargoil Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Was plannin' to get a set of aftermarket alloys at some point, so I'll probably get them sooner rather than later and just shove the Bathurtsts up the loft!Just went out and bought lots of cream cakes to make mysel' feel better!

gargoil Posted February 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2004 Didn't get his license as I ended up facing the opposite way but I did notice it was a Safeway lorry so I'm going to go onto the Safeway website to see if there is an email address I can moan to!Going to be shopping in Tesco from now on!
