Another Alloy bites the dust.
« on: 28 May 2009, 10:33:32 »

Out last night in the MV6 in Chingford, went round a corner, Bang! Dirty great big hole in the road filled with water that I didn't see.

Went back this morning to take some photo's of the hole, they've already filled it in.  >:(

Driving around now with that stupid 50 mph black wheel, not happy.

Dont suppose anyone’s got a Facelift 17" MV6 wheel lying around for sale? :y

Was still thinking about putting in a claim, I did take some pics this morning be it of a filled hole still with the yellow markings arround it.

Pretty much destroyed all my Cossie 18"s driving arround Herts / Essex borders in the past. The local Council wouldn't pay out then claiming the replacement wheels were not purchased from Ford?, ie the original ones.  >:(

Worst kept roads in the country. I've had one of my front alloys repaired twice now due to buckles caused by potholes. >:(

Hmmmm......pretty bad in Sheffield then. I think it was 2008 that either Herts or Essex roads were listed as the worse in the country. Like the website, good idea. :y
