Smell the rubber - Westpig

Fair do's the bloke's got talent.

Good to see him 'push pulling' at one point...having been criticised for it once on a day's rallying when I couldn't stop myself doing it.

Smell the rubber - Focusless

Not wanting to be a spoilsport, but definitely seen that before, and I suspect it was either here or HJ?

He also clipped the wheel of the Segway.

Smell the rubber - Runfer D'Hills

Heck of bill for tyres looming there ! I just had to replace a front one on the Merc this morning due to an irreparable cut in the sidewall. Suspect a pothole I ran through in London yesterday but can't be sure.

£199 for one tyre and that was with a 25% discount !!!

Smell that rubber !

:-(

Sure it wasn't a stray stilletto in the drive way?

Might be right WP !

Trying to ensure "she" doesn't doesn't get to see the scraped AMG alloy too. Gave her a fierce time when she kerbed one on my old car...

I reckon I saw the Segway jump as the car went past.

He does have a habit of clipping things.

You could not get that good without getting it wrong a lot in practice.

Some of the pre-existing rubber marks tell a tale of woe.

(ISTR reading Russell Swift's story of learning to drive a car on two wheels - it involved a lot of time with a big hammer getting the roof knocked back out for the next attempt.)
