Today I would like you to commiserate with me, please.
Driving home from a distant meeting yesterday I rounded a corner going 40mph (which was the speed limit), there was a lorry parked blocking virtually the whole lane. It was masking a traffic calming island which I proceeded to hit with my front tyre which went pop. Then started changing it in the pouring rain only to see that I had destroyed the back one as well. Had to get the AA to stick an additional spare on and follow me to a garage. Two tyres (19") ain’t cheap. Reconciled myself with it. Today I find out that I have also fucked the alloy! ~£550 down. Fuck. Here’s a diagram of the action.
