ive just experienced one of the crapest nights of my life!
first started when i found out that ive got an oil leak somewhere but couldnt locate it and then its all downhill from there
me and me mates decided to go to a 24hour asda, on the way through the car park is a little ghey traffic island which is basically just a raised curb. course i didnt see the fooker did i, and hit it at about 15mph. thought to myself, oh fook, looked out and all i had was a flat tire. thought nowt of it.
i dont hold a spare tire coz of me sound system, so luckily, one of me mates took me home to get my spare. piked that up, came back and took my wheel off. bugga me, you should ov seen the state of it, buckled from the inner, i saw it was fooked, so i took it off and put the spare back on. dropped the car and tried to pull off but it wasnt moving. - piked up the wrong spare wheel, the steelie was off my mams corsa c and didnt fit ova my brake calipers.
so, a second trip back home later, and the right spare wheel this time, i tried to take the other wheel back off. so what happened to me then? the bloody locking wheel nut key snapped on me didnt it finally managed to get it off though and get the car home. most ironic thing about it all though, was the fact asda isnt open 24hours on a sunday
now uz know me situation, can anyone tell me where i can get a 17" wolfrace enigma alloy in shadow crome on the cheap?
te he, me car looks well funny with 17"s on the back and 14"s on the front! dragster stylie
