Just popped into kwik fit by jimmybhoy on Wed Dec 04, 2013 5:22 pm
Heard a slight rumble around the front wheel area, so into kwik fit for a wee assessment. May as well get them to tell me what it is. Saves me rolling about in the wet. Then when I know I can take it to a proper garage to get fixed...I've got a 15min wait, what's the betting he comes back & says......oh too dangerous, you'll be dead by tea time if you take that out of here.
:lol:

Did you spend the night there then? Did they let you out? Did you buy 4 new tyres, even though the old ones were only 3 days old?

The suspense is killing me here....
