Damn lorry!

Post by GeoffCapes »

On the way to the dealers to have my milky centre caps replace under warranty, a lorry coming the other way forced me into a kerb as it was determined it would fit through a gap too small for it to get through. So ended up scuffing my alloy. Suppose it was better than having a lorry scrap down the whole side of my car. But it's still annoying tho ;0(

I scrapped one of my alloys in that horrible Rotherhithe Tunnel (in London) after some 4x4 thought it had more right than me. Got a local guy who repairs alloys think it cost me £40/45 for the wheel and it looked brand new. It ain't the end of the world!
