| started off on a half day at work as me and some mates were off to norfolk for some seaside banter, on the way to my house, got forced straight into a curb by some t**t in a citilink parcel van, the passenger side front wheel now has a chunk of tyre missing and some heavy scratching covering a fair part of the rim (if anyone can put me infront of a good refurb place, it would be very much appreciated) then, on my way with mates to teh beach, got pulled over by a man hiding behind a 30 sign as i was coming into a village, clocked at 45, i was literally 10 yards in (no excuse, i know, i will admit i was in the wrong there) got threatened with 6 points and 2 £60 fines for not having my front plate in the right place, illegal plates anyway, and speeding. after some heavy talking and general reasoning i managed (god knows how) to get off with most of it, went away with no points and a £30 on the spot fine for having the wrong plates on. then it all went really wrong, was heading back through little downham when i bottomed out on a level crossing - didn't think it was that bad til the engine warning lights went mental, pulled over, got out and could see a long long line of oil followed the rest in a huge puddle under the engine...not a good weekend, especially as i was meant to going to players today, instead im on the phone trying to get it all sorted... 9.30 last night... so if anyone knows a wheel refurb guy, that would be awesome! thanks | |

| dude. i feel for you mate.. looked so nice these past couple of weeks since ed38 then this goes and happens. certainly hasn't been your week has it? optional hugs for you if you're feeling down about it. I'm not gay, but I like a hug when I'm down and/or focked off. | |
