this morning while driving to work i thought the car felt a bit sluggish but i just put it down to the high wind around because its been playing havoc with it recently
nehoo got to the fairly sharp left hand corner and the whole car went sideways. just managed to keep it straight without losing it completely. there was a noise which sounded like creaking metal, pressuming it was the shock reaching the max i didn't stop. It also didn't feel any different.
arrived at work (15 miles) where i got outta the car to discover two flat rear tyres and now to rims which look um......worse for wear. turns out sum1 living near me thort it'd be funny to take the valves out of the tyres. sum ppl are great aren't they. luckily my new wheel are due to turn up today so talk about a bit of luck!
all good fun.

Sorry, it doesn't make me laugh. If you can't tell when the rear tyres are flat, one might question whether you should be driving at all!

Gotta say I was almost run over once by 'A little old lady' in an 1100 whose front tyre wasn't just flat it had shredded and was coming off the rim..Some people!!

I think the post had more than a hint of sarcasm

However, I do agree that if you don't know when your tyres are flat, should you be on the road?! eek

I'm the opposite, the Honda suspension is so stiff that I can tell when one of the tyres is a couple of pounds down.

Who's using text speak?! confused
