I nearly cried like a girl today..

... when I heard the sound of metal against stone. Big CryBig CryBig Cry Yes I've managed to kerb one of my wheels pretty badly during a low speed maneouver. I'm normally over cautious but I just mis judged my distance from the kerb.

Hopefully the person I use will have no problem with the shadow finish.

Ouch! That noise is so sickening. Hope the cost of repair does not make your eyes water too.

Should I change from 20"s to 18"s I wonder, slightly more kerb friendly.

That's a big when at the mo, and SWMBO won't let me change them in reality.
