Default Pothole

So, we have this family curse, where every time we go away on holiday in the car, we have car problems. These have included dead battery, window stuck (when down), a sticking clutch, a sticking accelerator pedal, amongst others…

…we’re away this week, and as we were about half way through the journey, I said “At least the new car has broken the curse!”.

Half an hour later we hit a ****ing MASSIVE pothole! Everything seemed fine, carried on the the holiday house, had another check, bulge in the tire side wall . £130 for a new tire. The curse is clearly still with us. And I’m going to SUE THE COUNCIL. £130 for the tire and £2000 for emotional distress.

The car is only 6 months old so it was a practically new tire that got wrecked .

Ugh very annoying, the council should definitely pay for the tire, did you report it?

you have to take a photo of the pothole because if the council get a complaint, they send the team out to repair the road and then say "what hole". That's based on personal experience

I hit a pothole when I had a mini....it completely wrecked the top mount of my suspension. I tool it into a local garage and he knew exactly where I'd done it as he had had other cars in with probs from same place. 2 days later the hole was fixed and I had no evidence if it. Grr
