And have spent most of the day beating myself up about it!
Twatted the mito on a kerb, meant to go up the drop bit and just missjudged it and bang. Scratched the alloy up and burst the tyre. Not really that bad but I have to roll on the space saver until Tuesday when I get the wheel back from Tom and get the new tyres fitted. Not really the end of the world but its really annoyed me that I've done it! Grrrrrr lol!

Whenever I make a mistake or do something daft I tend to get pissed off about it and then make mistakes for the rest of the day  .

Done the same to the golf mate and flattened one side of the rim, pretty sure something else was fucked to as ithe next time I got it tracked the camber was out on that side 
Its a minor either way no doubt worse things will happen in your life time, not worth beating yourself up over it as no ones perfect!

It's driving as well as it can on the excuse of a spare tyre I've got.
Rim is at Toms (dropped it off this evening), new tyres at the front fitted on Wednesday morning and I'll get the tracking all seen to as well

Seems like your new payment of choice these days, will give you five to spray some bits

I did similar in a multi-storey, always have to get really close to the barrier to reach the card slot on the way out as the car's low, scraped my new wheels on the kerb. I did actually make this face:

i done the same except i drove my brand new orange focus into the kerb and because the front bumpers are so deep i had a 12 inch scuff along the bottom.
could always see it and pissed me right off.
didn't get it sprayed, just painted over it with orange brake caliper paint and a brush proper bodge job.

I'm done beating myself up about it now just put it down to human error! It'll all be sorted by Wednesday, I can drive it to work and back Monday and Tuesday on the spacesaver (did bloody 70 miles on it today - Aylesbury, Amersham, Little Chalfont, back to Amersham, Chalfonts, Home!) and Dad has lent me his car for the weekend to visit my sister
It's looking REALLY sorry for itself sat on the drive though, looks gash on the little rim
