Today I had ?900 of Kahn RSR wheels fitted with Toyo Poxies and the first dose of understear threw me into the hedge some 4 hours later!
I was certain I'd f**ked at least one because I'd smacked the kerb. I was only doing 30-40 out of a roundabout. It went a little like this...
Out of roundabout, understear, let off, massive overstear, 180 spin, over kerb, over the kerb, into hedge.
Lucky I fell short of the trees. I jumped out after I remembered I'd left my phone down at Wez's. A 500m jog it was then. So I start running. Then who should come up behind me? The old plod.
(always where you don't want them to be, typical) What a time to come a long, or was it...
"Where you going mate?"
"Only down the road"
"Is that you back there?"
"yeah, I'm going to get a mate to pull me out"
"jump in we'll give you a lift"
I'm thinking something's a bit fishy here. Police are never this nice to me. Last time they gave me a producer for pulling over on the side of the road.
"If I get in, will you let me out?"
"yeah sure"
So I got a lift, got the car out. Loads of mud, but the smallest of kerbage! I thought the wheel was bent, but after we spooned all the mud off it was fine. NEeds washing, but it's off to the bodyshop in the morning so they can wash it.
How fscking lucky am I!
