Large pothole

by KaraokeStu

13 Feb 2011

My pregnant wife and I had just been to view a potential new car and so were in unfamiliar territory late in the evening when we spotted a pothole that had flooded (and so until it was too late, was almost invisible to the naked eye).

Hitting the pothole immediately blew out the tyre on the car (which was the spare, as we were waiting to get the previous wheel which was also pothole damaged repaired)

Thankfuly, the recovery company were quick to arrive, but on loading the car onto the truck stated the pothole had also damaged the suspension and therefore should not be driven until fixed.
