they say bad luck comes in three's........

first of all on saturday the meter end of the oil dipstick snapped, which ment i had to take the oil sump off and betrieve the broken bit and then buy a new one.

secondly whilst checking for oil leaks when i refitted the oil sump i noticed a big tear in the offside front tyre, so i went to elites to have two new front tyres fitted as the nearside one was on the limit anyway.

thirdly when balencing the front wheels with new tyres i found out that 3 of my oz racing alloy wheels were buckled. great!!!!

so yea i feel like shite rite now, anyone else had a crap start to the week or is it just me?

Hopefully they're in a repairable state then.

It'd be a reet kick in the nad's if you had to fork out for some ones.
