Definitely check the 245's are on tthe 8.5J's and then carefully make your point about how f**ked up it is ~ not sure if you could "white lie" and get away with it saying they caused you to damage your alloy?!

spursmaddave Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Could be a good thing Will, their incorrect fitting of the wheels/tyres caused problems which meant you swerved into the kerb causing all that damage, get them to repair the alloy and then you won't take it further 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted July 25, 2014 Author Share Posted July 25, 2014 Don't think they'll fall for that one Dave. Been to Japex this morning and Ross and I solved the mystery and yes" they have put the tyres the wrong way round, got the wheels the right way round, 8.5 on the back and the 8 on the front, but they got the tyres mixed up, so to solve it they need to swop the front drivers side tyre with the rear passenger side tyre. :scare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Just got this from Transport for London this morning.. :scare: I am writing to remind you that on Sunday 10 August, there will be significant impact to travel in London and Surrey as a result of the annual Prudential RideLondon world-class weekend festival of cycling. Certain east, central and southwest London and Surrey roads will be closed to traffic. The route runs between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford and The Mall, via the City of London, over Chiswick Bridge towards Richmond Park, Kingston, Walton, Weybridge, Surrey Hills, Dorking, Leatherhead, Esher, Wimbledon and Putney. There will be extensive road closures on and around the route; roads will be closed from early morning and will re-open when it is safe to do so. Pedestrian access to properties will not be affected. A number of central London and Surrey bridges will be closed until the evening. Road users are advised to avoid areas near the event route wherever possible. Many buses will be on diversion or will stop short of their destinations. Well this should help bring London to a standstill... :surrender: This isn't the first time we've basically been told that roads are out of bounds for an entire weekend so a bunch of chumps can ride their bikes from A to B. When is the weekend event for drivers - a celebration of being able to enjoy our cars unmolested by idiots in Lycra who think they can ignore every rule of the road and that signalling their intended direction or using a cycle lane is too unmanly to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 What a great idea... Police in China have begun punishing drivers who dazzle other motorists by forcing them to stare at full-beam headlights for five minutes. Officers in the southern city of Shenzhen are using the unusual penalty to crack down on motorists who inappropriately flash their lights. Drivers are ordered to sit on a small plastic stool and stare at the front of a police vehicle while its headlights are turned on full beam for five minutes.

Fodder Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think his intention was to show how awesome he was at not allowing him to overtake but the outcome was exactly what you said and why in this country he would get the book rightly thrown at him. The guy overtaking should really have backed off a lot earlier but I guess the red mist had descended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
