Somebody's having a laugh!!

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Sun Jun 29, 2008 10:41 am

Hi Folks,

Well I normally carry a camera with me these days cos you never know what machinery you may see along the way ;)
So yesterday I was out shopping :oops: with my friend Helena and I looked at the smart Astra van that I had parked near to, well you know what its like when something just don't look right :?

Then the penny dropped :) now I have cable tied the plastic wheel trims to my car to stop em falling off or some little scrote from nicking one, but the geyser who owns this van has........

wait for it...........

put cable ties on his alloy wheels...... :lol: :lol: :lol:

the mind boggles :dizzy:

Maybe it is a way to get balance in the wheel.

I think it was probably supposed to be a double bluff, to make would be theifs think that they weren't alloy wheels fitted but plastic trims. Hmm the term durr springs to mind here. :lol: :lol: :lol:
