Wickie Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Well 2 miles from home on the way to Portsdown Hill this morning this happened, Surrey County Council have a bill coming their way, i just hope there is no damage to the wheel or i will be gutted. I really didn't fancy doing a 3 hour round trip with a skinny on the front lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkey Boy 1 Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 A bit of tank tape will sort that out .There was us thinking they you were stuck at home glued to the 6 Nations, Oh how little faith we have. Hope you get it sorted out soon Richard, One of my mates has to put in a claim to the Council / highways dept for samage done to his car last year. The pot hole he hit was so big & deep it split his side skirts.and damaged all 4 of his wheels. £5K from Mr Porsche for replacement parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
