Default Thanks Hartr8

Well i hit a pot hole in town & broke a mag a quick call to Steve @
Gateway Tyres & More West Gosford
Steve done all the home work for me as the mag could not be replaced so had to get a whole new set of wheels.
Steve looked up all the brands that would fit my car gave me the web sites to look at them then arranged for me to look and buy a set @ a local shop.
So once again a BIG thank you to Steve (Hart8) fo all his help.
Dave.

They are council workers they sit there and have a smoke and a cup of coffee and that is there degree...

But yeah I say take it to the council and say you had to give up a set of rims because one was ****** UP by a pot hole....

Took photos of the hole and the smashed rim took a week for shannons to come to the party
Only got paid for 1 wheel
Council had road fixed with in 2 days hadint been to see them at that stage so just left it
Would have been the fastest they had ever worked.
