On the way back from having my Torsion bar sorted, i had a blow out on the Nearside rear wheel, which sent me flying in to a Kerb as i approached a Round-about.

Luckly i stopped about 10cm away from hitting the actually Round-about which would have caused even more damage.

The only damage is the front steelie got mashed abit, the wishbone shocking are straight and in one piece.

Looks like im getting my 15's sooner than i thought! :rolleyes:

At the side of the road

Front wheel

Rear

Luckly i never took my space saver out (was going to yesterday!) but that still left another wheel needed. But some nice friends brought me up a 15" steelie off a 306! Looks pimping! 8-)

Heres the rear Tyre that poped, has a Gash in it, looks kinda cut!

Another pic of the front wheel (pretty poor quality)
