He took one look at me and drove off without stopping or exchanging details. Hopefully the police who attended the scene will have stern words with him. Car is off to the repairers for the second time this year! They are going to get sick of respraying the nearside ...

To shatter the disc and not the alloy thats taken a hard hit to that corner Sad I really feel for you fella.

Maybe time to offer the insurance co you'll be claiming from(lorry drivers i hope!) the chance to Cat D it and allow you the vehicle back as a part of the settlement and thus make a saving and break the curse as these things happen in in 3's and the next one could be worse Sad Big Cry Big Cry FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Yeah, was a good wallop. Definitely going to invest in a dashcam now. Probably hit the kerb with the week face on so easy to shatter the disc, not sure of speed was a right blur.

I was crossing a large 2 lane oval shape roundabout. A lorry decided that instead if giving way and joining my lane, he would join the feeder lane to my left, which would put him going up the hill with me, but instead he decided not to indicate and pull across me to turn right. I slammed on the brakes and swerved and hit the kerb at 45 degrees with the wheel 90 degrees to the kerb. If I hadn't managed to turn the car around I would have hit an earth bank and rolled it into the path of oncoming traffic.

Not good. Hope you manage to get it repaired properly and without damage to your insurance premiums. Si. <This is my name.

A man ain't truly been insulted until he stands buck naked in front of a woman and she didn't even notice. Or care.
