Another Alloy bites the dust.
28. May 2009 at 10:33

Out last night in the MV6 in Chingford, went round a corner, Bang! Dirty great big hole in the road filled with water that I didn't see.

Went back this morning to take some photo's of the hole, they've already filled it in. Angry

Driving around now with that stupid 50 mph black wheel, not happy.

Dont suppose anyone’s got a Facelift 17" MV6 wheel lying around for sale? Thumbs Up!

Was still thinking about putting in a claim, I did take some pics this morning be it of a filled hole still with the yellow markings arround it.

Pretty much destroyed all my Cossie 18"s driving arround Herts / Essex borders in the past. The local Council wouldn't pay out then claiming the replacement wheels were not purchased from Ford?, ie the original ones. Angry

Worst kept roads in the country. I've had one of my front alloys repaired twice now due to buckles caused by potholes. Angry

Hmmmm......pretty bad in Sheffield then. I think it was 2008 that either Herts or Essex roads were listed as the worse in the country. Like the website, good idea. Thumbs Up!
