Usual story - duel carriageway, went to overtake some doddering old twat - why is it always old people causing danger - he decided to leave me no room and i hit the kerb at 40 - my tyre exploded and 2 hubcaps went into orbit and left me skidding across the duel carriageway trying to stop, which i did successfully where i pulled into a farmers field and changed my wheel.
My wheel is trashed, can i get a used one from a garage?
To add to that, the other bits on my car that im behind on is: Cracked Windscreen, need new shoes on rear, 2 new hubcaps required, 2 new tyres now, and a new wheel......
Great day this turned out to be.

Think my shock took a lot of the impact, and i think it needed replacing already. Theres no wobble on the steering wheel even at 90+mph so i think my axles ok.
I was really wound up but my snowboarding session from earlier made me chill out.
