Nah.. "murphy" usually comes round my place........ :roll:

I have bent 2 merc rims so far, both off road, first when a rock went up the sidewall and bent the rim, then second time was I clouted a log (log isnt the right word really, it bust the endcap before the wheel...) hidden in undergrowth... I wasnt creeping along either..... :oops: :oops:

We are there again on the 28th June.. :ok

Everything took longer than it should due to my clutch problems, but all sorted as of this morning. (Cheers again Aidan for the help with getting the extra parts :D )
