Default Oopsie, damaged the Company pool car in under 1 week!!!!!

Gotta be a record for me, i've had the Company pool car since Friday and at lunch time today I took the inside lane round some well dodgy roundabouts in Bletchley........ and then "Bang" looked at my mate and she said "Ummmm that really didnt sound too good".

Got back to the office and checked the alloy, two 1" chunks missing from the rim............ I wouldn't be too bothered but they are limited edition Barabus Alloys

We've taken a vote in the office and the majority say that when I have to eventually take the car back, to plead ignorance and tell them the chunks were missing when I picked it up........ like they're gonna believe me

I dunno you women drivers

Seriously though make sure the rim is safe and the tyre sidewall is undamaged. Might be worth putting the spare on and having the wheel refurbed. Last thing you want is a tyre suddenly deflating when your giving it some.

pmsl Gaz............... very good idea mind!

Paul, the wheels are still nice, there's just a little bit missing from one of them now

Took some pics of the car when I got home but they don't come out very well in the dark........













Tried to take some pics of the alloy I damaged but it just came out as a white blur.
