A garage snapped one of mine yesterday whilst taking the wheels off-do you think someone will do a 'bulk-buy' deal. Lol.

Yeah well to be fair they couldn't help it, they had to get it off at the end of the day. It's the numptys at the tyre centre who'd obviously previously cross threaded it or over tightened it.

Ah i suppose fair do's, im a mechanic and people come back to my work saying we were the last to put the wheels on etc butyou have to prove it which is impossible really. So someone has to foot the bill somewhere.
