WTF

Post by ModifiedMadness »

I went out yesterday for a drive past the Aston Martin factory in Newport Pagnel, and on the way there I could hear a strange noise - My dad held the TomTom and I turnded the radio off, but it was still there?

Then all of a sudden he says whoa, I looked infront to see the tyre peeling off the car infront of me (was only a Metro)

We turned around because it was a young(ish) girl, and my old man changed the tyre for her. The one we took off was shafted, which my dad informed me looked like a re-mould.

Anyhow once we changed it she went on her way and so did we, she got to carry on and I got to see the Aston factory :D

Just though I'd share that with you all.

It did feel good helping her out, especially because she said "I don't know what I'd have done otherwise" :D

@polopowah - She'd have got one :lol:

That's remoulds for you. I had one totally fall apart as I was going down a single track lane with a ditch each side at 70mph in my old Panda.

:lol: if it was my brother he'd have been the one slowing down to shout " d'ya need a hand? then join the AA!!"

gotta give respect to modified madness for stopping to help a damsel in distress, i'd stop if i was in no rush, but generally i'm in my car because i'm going somewhere...so they can sit and wait in the cold for the AA man :twisted: ...unless she happens to be hot

Only reason I wasn't fussed is because I was just on a casual half hour drive to the Tickford Aston Martin Factory, where they currently build the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish.
