PART ONE
"Can I give her a spin?" my wife Sue asked. The voice inside my head was screaming "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" but the words "Of course dear" came out. We had a wonderful drive out (well Sue did, I had my eyes closed most of the time) and arrived back in our home road with no major mishaps.
"Pull her onto the curb just in case you catch the wheel" I suggested, which in fairness she did. Unfortunately Sue only just made the curb and just has we stopped the DS slipped off and there was a terrible scrapping sound!!!!
Sue was upset and said "I can't look" I braced myself and getting out of the car my heart sank, there were some nasty scrapes in my front passenger side wheel. "it's OK", I lied," no damage"
Next day at work I phoned the garage I had bought the car from to find out who had refurbed the wheels before I picked her up. It turned out the company was Perfection Alloys and the guy who had done such a wonderful job lives but 5 minutes from my house!!!!
Sue does care work and is working all day today so I booked the repair in for this morning. Being diamond cut alloys I thought it would be a car into a work shop job but this company do it on their van.
Martyn arranged to be at my house for 07:45.
Most important part of any job is preparation and at this time of a Saturday morning copious quantities of Coffee is a major contributing factor to a successful out come
The damage..........
