Kerbed my diamond cut wheels

On cue, you are at it again.
And not as far as you are concerned, darlin'.

I'm nothing if not predictable 

As you are clearly such a sensitive soul, construing what is merely playful banter, as baiting (something you could well be accused of yourself....oh wait, you already have been), I shall attempt to curb my questionable humour and, if necessary, respond henceforth with only factual statements

The words 'miserable git' spring to mind

Ha, ha. I thought 'not' but wished to post 'yes'. I had wicked thoughts about you! Now corrected. 
And do keep teasing, you minx!

Having deeply, deeply upset me, you will have to earn your way back into my minx-like teasing sights, my sweet

Dearest, you will forgive me if I tell you I have been housebound for a few days as I cannot walk. I have sprained my left ankle really badly.

First, accident on Thursday morning 9am when I went for my 2 mile run. Didn't feel too bad. Applied ice and hoped pain would go.

Then on Friday I had my second accident, whilst I was faffing around with my keyless immobiliser. I caught my left foot between the car sill and the pavement and whilst pulling my foot out, ripped my ankle to shreds and am now immobilised just like my R.

It was so painful, that I called my Private Health Insurance and started a claim in case I needed to see a Foot and Ankle Orthopaedic Surgeon. The one I go to treats members of the Royal Ballet. The last time I saw him I buggered up both feet after a ballooning accident in Egypt. He sorted me out in 2 weeks. Thankfully, this time the damage is not too bad and I don't think I will need him, I hope.

To err is human, to forgive divine.

Going for the sympathy vote then, smart move   

Seriously, I'm sorry you are having such a painful time, but if you will insist on indulging in treacherous activities such as running, getting in and out of cars and messing about with aptly named immobilisers, what can you expect    

I hope your ankle heals well and quickly, that medical intervention may not be required and you will soon be back to your Egyptian ballooning best.

Reassuring and fortunate to have private health insurance, we have it too and it proved to be a god send during my partner's cancer treatment last year.

You are forgiven your forum transgressions 

Anyway, I think someone might like their kerb alloyed thread back....sorry Herbie!

PHI is so important for Cancer Care. You get the latest drugs and the quickest treatment which is essential for treating cancer.

Sorry Herbie, but you should know better when kerb crawling. Hope you get your wheel fixed. You will always remember this lass for the damage to your pride and joy.

Thanks guys!
After doing some internet research and reading your advice, I don't think I will go for a mobile repair. I will give Lepson a call tomorrow!
This is not the worst car incident with a new date. A few years ago, I was soft enough to lend my keys (a three month old cayman s ) to a girl on my third date. She managed to crash the car into a bus! I didn't sleep for weeks but still dated her for 2 years.
It's amazing what gorgeous woman can do to a man's head!

Herbie: It's time you settled don and stopped playing the field. The inner person is more important than those external looks. You will date yourself to death and still end up feeling lonely. It is the loneliness that people are really afraid off. There are so many people in such a situation. You sound like a very nice and generous chap who is too trusting.

You cannot get a mobile repairer to fix Diamond Cut Alloys. In fact, I would not use them even for painted alloys. The way they fix the wheel by the roadside buggers the balancing, unless the damage they are repairing is really tiny.

Always best to send your wheel and tyre to a proper place who will do a complete refurb when damage is extensive even for painted wheels. In fact, if a wheel has to be repaired correctly, then it matters not whether it is Painted or Diamond Cut. The whole wheel needs to be addressed, the tyres than fitted and the whole caboodle can then be balanced. That's the Lepsons' way.

Here's hoping your wheel gets fixed perfectly. Do keep us posted on how it transpires. Best of luck.

Hi Guys,
Thanks again for the reply. Rung Lepson up and have a good look at their website. I do have a lot of confidence with them. Cost around £120+vat inc. courier. I just need a good weekend to take the wheels off and get it boxed up for transport. However, I was thinking driving there and leave the car with them. Since the car had done 12000miles and the tread is now down to 45mm, is it worth changing the front conti 5s (summer tyres) to all seasons. In the past, I think the Kwik Fit boys always manage to scratch my Mk 6 GTI alloys,Ii just wonder whether these wheel refurbishment company are a bit more careful when it comes to changing one's tyres?
The cost keeps on climbing after one incident!

If they are repairing your wheel, they would be really cheeky to hand it back with a mark from a tyre wrench left on it 

When I got 4 wheels powder coated a couple of years back, I took the opportunity to also supply them with 4 new tyres I'd purchased cheaply on-line. They need to take the tyres off to repair the wheels so its not as if its an extra job for them.

So yes to answer your question, they would be extremely careful refitting tyres. Probably the best place to have change them.
