in around 200k miles over 7 years on 4 wheels, in cars from a 1 litre polo to a rally prepped HRV and stuff in between (audi A4, honda civic type R, a vectra and many more) I've never once kerbed a car when driving, parking manouvering, yet still park within an inch or two of the kerb when parking.
I just can't figure out why some people manage it so often... ???
especially when it's kerbing in motion, like turning onto a roundabout too tight etc...

@ elgordo your a star.......
I haven't done it much...don't know how I managed it this time......
These wheels are a few months old.....
Usually when my missus drives car marks appear on wheels.......
