She's just got back, she'd borrowed my car.... I daren't go look
-
awww noooooooooo. please dont tell me she ~~~~~~ :surprised: :sad1:
-
:surprised: :scared: :scared: At least she is ok, cars can be fixed!
-
Give her a cuddle... it's only a car.
-
:sad1: kims not aloud anywhere near my drivers seat.
-

Ive just picked up my anni with a scratched front valence, not happy chappy, garage deny all knowledge, just had the thing re-sprayed!
Hope your car is ok..
-
Oh no.... :sad1:
-
.
What's the story, VC?
-
:sad1: kims not aloud anywhere near my drivers seat.
My GF is, but only with the hoover in hand !!
Sure the car will be fine and at least Mrs C is ok - well for now anyway....
-
Id she genuinely upset or is the waterworks so you don't have a go at her?
Anyway, as long as she's okay that is the most important thing.
-
well she's had her cuddle... but i r not a happy cherry :chicken: but i didnt go mad at her, never do, but i know i should out right ban her from my car from now on, floods of tears bless her
thankfully its just a rim and no where near as bad as i thought it might be, if thankfully is the correct word considering she's done almost £500 of damage.
was an immaculate wheel ..oh.. and a new pilot sport 2..
rim killed (it has a grain so cant be refurbed) tyre killed (deep rip)
now have this:

minor thing, big cost, mrs ok....but still irritates the cr@p outta me :sad1:
and she hates the way i say 'be careful' when she goes out in mine... which to be fair is rare, she only took it as she needed the extra seat (eos only holds 4 people)
-
And breathe....... :love:
-
How did it happen?
-
At least it gives you an excuse to buy new wheels and she can't say no :signLOL:
scott
-
Not sure about the rim but the tyre damage looks to be limited to just the rim protector. Get the wheel checked out. I had some minor damage to the rim protector and the tyres were fine for another 10k miles.
-
Nasty,but as others have said could have been a lot worse. How did she do it. ?.
-
^^^^
Thank goodness it's not worse - For either her or the car :happy2:
Isn't this the second time she's damaged your rims?
-
she overcooked a corner

oh totally, if my car wasnt minty fresh she wouldnt feel so bad, and yes she has killed all four of the finichis since being on the eos - a reason i wont refurb them for her
-
Women!!!!!!!!! know you'r limits. :grin:
-
Time for some guilt-trip sex followed by some guilt-trip rims.

Time to give her professional lessons in parking?

I hope you mean wheels, and not something related to the first activity... :ashamed:

:booty:

-

and yes, the F1 is on this weekend, i will be doing s0d all but drinking beer and accepting various apologetic forms of sex. in large portions. from every angle. yes even russian gymnast angles.

....Women love cars too, but in a very different way. They love their cars for ever doing what they want, for starting and stopping more or less* when and where they should, for being helpful, protecting their children and sharing the load.
* = Note "more or less" resulting in rim damage!
They expect similar things from their husbands too :laugh:
-
steph did the same to one of my CH's the other day!
And you managed to guilt trip her into buying you a whole new car, hence you're flogging parts off the old one? Very skillful!
-

:signLOL: lmao that comment....... methinks this is a consensual new wheel opportunity??
and my GF wont even drive mine now unless under real duress cos she so nervous of doing just this very thing... i feel guilty ive scared her but secretely relieved that she wont drive it :evilgrin:
sorry to hear the news VC....... ouch!

....You lent her your car on purpose didn't you!? C'mon, we're your buddies, you can admit it to us!
-
I feared the worst when I read the title VC.
Looks like you've got the better end of the deal there :laugh:
Wifee in make-up mode FTW. Think you can get away with a little more than you've mentioned so far before the "make-up for it" mode wears off :wink:
-
Oh don't worry, she's made my car limp so by the time I'm done with her she'll be limping too
one fcuked rim deserves another :star:

Expect to see that on youTube later then :wink:
-
The tyre side walls are extremely thick so they don't think they'd pop :happy2:
-
Mrs Cherry will be feeling really guilty at the mo for catching your alloy Vc--seems a good reason to upgrade to some new alloys :happy2:
-
i would upgrade/change but ive been rocking these AMG ones and totally love em :sad1:
-

:signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL: made my day that :grin:
What do you mean by the rim has a grain?
-
I would be very suprised if lepssons cant repair that to as new ,They are down south near Gravesend i think
-
Women!!!!!!!!! know you'r limits. :grin:
... for Heaven's sake DON'T drive!
:evilgrin: We're not all bad. Just ask my boyfriend what happpened when he was reversing my old R32 into a space with a brick wall behind it :scared:. Oh, and what happened when he fitted some tyres for me recently. You're not the only one with a damaged wheel, and I've got more than one that was done by the male of the species!

:grin:
Forum quote of the year! :happy2: :congrats:
-
gravesend is very north for me :innocent:
by grain i mean they are diamond cut and not painted and have hundreds of really tiny grooves on the face... like a record if you looked at it in the light, mashing them destroys them :sad1:
-
I 2nd Lepsons, they will do it. Is just a diamond cut face and will come up good as new. Has the tyre gone to the cords?
-
Sorry to hear VC but this is forum gold.
By the end of the long weekend the damage and cost might be worth it.
-
www.thepolishedwheelcompany.co.uk in wadebridge will 100% do that VC. Had a set of wheels done for my mk4 with the same diamond cut finish, and they were very good. Local too!! They have specialist lathes and all sorts
:happy2:

Ooh cool sambo :drinking:
definately gunna check them out, didn't know there were any places like that so close - cheaper than a replacement

VC, it appears to be a recurring event, either with her eos, and now your 'rocket'.
I echo RR's comments. Spend a few hundred quid and put her through advanced driving school that facilitates training on taking corners at higher than normal speeds without clipping the rims.
-
I have a couple of sets of wheels in the garage that will fit my other halfs Seat Leon but this is the exact reason why they don't get fitted :smiley:
-
LMFAO VC!! :signLOL: :congrats:
-
guys there is a valuable lesson to be learnt here.... DONT LESS YOUR MRS DRIVE YOUR CARS ....NO WAY NO NO NO
RIM QUOTE WAS BEST EVER :happy2:

Or just sell the EOS and buy her a 5 seater banger and then she will appreciate the finer things in life. :P

have you seen my defender? that things built like a tank... but lifes to short to drive tanks all the time :innocent:
fear not though, she's been working very very hard apologising and i'm not done forgiving the hell outta her just yet :signLOL:
-
Hope you're having fun dude :laugh:
The wheel can be refurb'd, there's some companies who do diamond polishing/cutting and result in a wheel as good as new. Just got to make sure they put on a proper high-temp laquer!
-
The missus is paying the insurance on the S3, only way i will let her use it :signLOL:

Unlucky bud.. :sad1:
