I had a blowout on my motorbike once. Unfortunately was going faster than the national sped limit at the time. Rear tyre went bang, back end came round to the front and I somehow managed to reduce speed to about 30 before I fell off into the hedge.

Nice!



Wow!! Lucky lucky guy!

Martin, It's a 5 door corsa....good chassis doesn't come into the equation at all!! haha

Thats why u should never skimp when it comes to buying tyres for your car :y


...or when buying those 9mm rounds...  ;D

Thats why we have Omegas - they inherited the ACT suspension geometry off the Carltons

That's the plan Mick!!  ;)

Can get about £2000 which would get a nice pre-facelift, Insurance isn't really an issue, it's just the costs of running it which would cripple me haha
My plan is to save like mad from now and get one in May/June when my wages should go up as I'll be in 3rd year and i should have 2 years NCB. Despite the lure of Elites, MV6's, I'd be more than pleased with a tidy 2 litre GLS 8-)

You could get a decent 2.0 CD for around £500 for £2000 you could get a late prefacelift
