I just have had an amazing week holidaying with my girlfriend. Was driving home to find a pile of bricks in the road. Did my best to avoid them but ended up a brick stuck in between my wheel and body with the cyclone f**ked a dent in the subframe and a grease nipple snapped off my rollerbearing wishbone bush.

Unlucky dude, was this in a side street or a dual carraigeway or what?You'll be able to recover your wishbone nipple, it should come out providing the thread isn't damaged. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

Gutted for you mate, hopefully it doesn't take too long or too much cost to sort.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Sounds an awful lot like Mr Smegal fell asleep at the wheel and crashed through someone's house  "What?! What?! Where did all these bricks come from? And why is there a coffee table on my bonnet?! What is the world coming to! I'll have to reverse around this lot and make my way home another route" ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

It was only a couple of bricks, but the noise it made when I caught that one sounded like it was a house. Bloody real stone bricks that are larger than normal house bricks. I took it to a garage so didn't get chance to snap pictures. I figured that if the threads come out, the labour would be less than the cost of me buying some easy outs and a tap set (for the handle) oh the joys of not having my tools with me in Leeds. ________________________________________ Ex SC-6Now in a Megane R26 |
