The wife went out shopping in the car today, first time driving it :unsure:
Come home and said, you know how bad the parking is in town, yes yes yes.
Nice curb marks on the wheels :cry:
I think I'm going to have to get tyres with 3" overhang lol

Thats why I wont get my ones refurbed, they were like it when I bought it, if any one asks.

That's the main reason the wife doesn't drive my car :laugh: and that she can't drive for park to save her life :laugh: Shhhhh don't tell her I said that :whistle:

The wife doesn't drive mine, that's what's so good about bucket seats slammed to the floor, ideal for 6' me but useless for 5'4" her :laugh:

My Mrs is scared of the BM. She only drove my MG if I was drunk - and that wasn't often enough !

I was considering buying a second set of winter/missus wheels for such occasions but it would be a bit of a faff changing them over every time she wanted to borrow the car.

curb marks ain't so bad after all, blame it on the sidewalk not being rounded enough :whistle:

I painted over curb marks on my 17" straights with the MGR alloy paint, marks vanished and wheels have stayed nice since. :)
