Damn road litter

Post by Jack » Tue Feb 27, 2007 9:52 pm

On the way home this evening I ran over something hard. I didn't see what it was and when I went back to remove it off the road it was gone (must've flicked off into the scrub). End result for the Brumby is a torn front right inner cv boot and a punctured rear right tyre.

Hope tomorrow is a better day.

I'd be more ticked about the tyre personally, to me a boot is $12 and a few minutes of getting dirty.
Sorry to hear Jack. Sounds like it must have been something pretty solid, you'd have to assume it wasn't just chucked there.
