Hit a MASSIVE pot hole yesterday, I honestly dunno how I didn't take the entire wheel off or damage the suspension or rip the car apart basically. Man what an impact, it was unbelievable. Look at what it did to one of my lovely new toyo proxes 
Possibly the most unbelievable thing is that me centre cap came off 
Now that was some bloody pot hole! |

Yeah can definatly sue.
I work for Bucks CC and the number of claims we have from tar getting stuck to brake discs and stuff during re-surfacing work are nearly as unbeleivable as the quotes some garages apparently give. Some guy sent us a quote of £150 for a new tyre for a Rover 25.
We rejected the claim LOL telling him to get a quote from a REAL garage !!!   |

lol yeah didn't think of that actually. A new toyo is only £30 though, so I dunno if I can be bothered with the hassle just for £30. My uncle has got something to do with the council tho, I'll see what he reckons about it |

Yeah I spoze. Thing is tho, couldn't see the thing at all, just know it's around a certain place, so I reckon if I go there to take a photo of it I'm just gonna smash through it again
Still haven't spoken to me uncle, but I'll let you know what happens. Yeah it's a front tyre and I'm getting it fitted tomorrow so will see how much it costs |
