It will be *such* an anticlimax when the Monkeyhanger R arrives, this saga just runs and runs and I admire the patience! I'm sure there's a lot more going on behind the scenes stress wise but it's been such a soap opera that it's compulsive reading!
I do feel for you MH!
And what have I done to my mk7 today? Put a good spare tyre on my front wheel as I had a nice blow out in a contraflow yesterday which obliterated the tyre. Great.
I'm not even sure of what I hit as going there again today in daylight I can't see anything but it's a road widening thing so could have been a temp cat's eye or a bit of unfinished tarmac or anything? Grrrrrrrr
For those considering 19" wheels - I've never had so many tyre issues than the last two or three years I've been running 19's. They look great but offer very little sympathy if you accidentally hit a pot hole or road debris.
