what an absolute pillock

[funkyboogalooo]

well i feel such a twat you wouldnt believe. My Maser is lovely all over with exception to one point only and that is the wheels. They werent damaged just generally needed refurbing. So this morning I get to work sat with a bucket of warm water and some wet and dry. After about an hour I realised that I was just gonna have to save to get them done properly (around £150 ish for all four). Now at the moment I'm not exactly flush with money, just laid out for the car, starting new job etc, you know the sketch. So i'm not too happy about waiting as they are letting the appearance of the car down, but hey lets not be greedy.
So i decide just to take her out return a video and a couple other odds and ends.
Top of the road, cold tyres, floor it and she's sideway, over correct a tad and she skims the kerb all up the front nearside alloy.
Now how pissed off do you think I am, its gone from a £150.00 tart up to a 4 corner £90.00 a go refurb to get the scuffed one back and then the others to match.
Should've stayed in bed.

Welcome to the (expensive) world of lots of power, rwd, too much welly and oops! Seriously though, sorry to hear about the wheel, I hope you have not damaged anything else as well.
