Expensive start to 2013

Post by Mence7 »

So there I was, with wife heading back from town after some post Christmas sale shopping. Came off the roundabout, quite a bit of laying water, only this time disguising a broken manhole...

Won't bore you with the rest, suffice to say I now have one completely wrecked P-Zero and a badly dented Lugano.

Crawley borough Council wil be hearing from me... :mad:

Sorry to hear this.

Camskill have quite good pricing on the 19" OEM P Zeros (K1) at the moment, around £160 each.

Make sure you are sitting down when they tell you the price of a Lugano.

:D , I seem to recall muttering something about not wanting another Rocco, just the wheel, he didn't look impressed ;)

Looking on evil bay, you can get a full set of lookalikes for less money which I did consider...

Still, I have managed to pick up a refurb genuine wheel wearing a slightly part worn P-Zero for a more modest sum so we're rolling again at a slightly quicker pace than the space saver would allow.

Been promised a slightly scuffed but cheap Lugano which I will get refurbed and then pop a budget tyre on it, keep it safe in the garage just in case.
