no didnt buckle a wheel it was my sump that took the brunt of it. came round a corner and on the road was 2 potholes right on the line of both my front wheels and a big rock out of one of the potholes was in the middle of the lane, my wheels went into the potholes and the sump hit the big rock! didnt realised i had burst the sump till i looked in the mirror and seen a long trail of oil.
this is what i found....
luckly av just got all the shite cleared out the workshop so was able to actually get the car on the ramp to sort it, as the place was full of shite before
anyone else have councils that take forever to sort potholes?

Well, if you've not done anything else to it I can see why it would be daft. Unless they now have ATF figures for pub talk
