Good, I've had a word with the CC of Yorkshire. He was most interested, especially when I told him the kerb had been damaged. He told me to leave it with him and the bracelets would be on Pinky in no time, by the time he got out of jail, white would be yesterdays colour. Said he sounds a right bad egg and not the sort of person he'd like to come across on a dark night.

I don't think kerbed the wheel on a kerb whilst driving slowly is anything to worry about


However you could report me for kerb crawling too whilst your making the call  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think you are already! The phone goes, a knock at the door.... you jump out of your skin. Is it the boys in blue?

Oh, the shame of it, a moderator on here with a previous conviction. What is the word coming to? Do you have to make a disclosure to Martin?

I did see Midnight Express! Good enough for Pinkie! Just watch out for the rather large warden. He's coming for you.

Mind you we have an admission of Kerb Crawling - dirty, dirty, dirty! A Vandal and a Sex Offender now.

Can I have that picture of that wheel as my profile picture so everytime I post you get to remind urself of what you did.

NPINKS, It's nice to see you have a sense of humour-I wouldn't be laughing if that was my wheel

might aswell laugh about it

what's done is done at end of the day it's only a wheel

standing back it's not that visible when looking

never know a odd wheel in better condition might pop up Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

One of our regular members has 4 odd wheels he may part with .
That is if you really want to go down that lane  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

You could always brag to others that you were rock crawling it in Snowdon when you scuffed it on a large boulder! You know a war wound rather than just plain carelessness when reversing it onto a main road on a housing estate.

good idea

Well it either looks like a replacement wheel, a full strip down and respray for £100, buy a new set of alloys or leave it and tell all of my offroading exploits

Just been to my smart repair guy and due to the shadow chrome it will not blend in 100% perfect as you have to black coat first, then top with silver, too much its too silver, too little its too black

and i keep thinking Smoked Chrome would look nice on a white car (more grey than silver)

Or you could just buy a BMW to match those wheels  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

I thinks a few more should take your lead pinkie and scrape more Chromium off their cars - now then, you've started a trend!!! How does it feel!!!

- my condolences. I bet it was one of those slow motion moments!!

As my dad aways said - don't worry son - its only a peice of metal (I'd managed to get his Cortina stuck on the gatepost! and i think he was being sarcastic!) There's always a way forward!
