The Camaro Club (UK)

Some may remember I crunched a wheel on a massive pothole at the end of October, well repaired wheel is back and looking fine.
This is how it was before after a 40 mph run through a seriously deep hole on the A40.


And repaired but nicely dirtied after a 200 blast around the rainy, muddy roads of Surrey and Sussex.


If anyone is interested I used BJV Engineering, located in Herts near Hemel Hempstead. They've refurb'd a couple of sets of wheels for me before. Very good price for quality of work in my experience.

How to post youtube vids: Click on the 'youtubeHD' button at the top of the message box and in the middle of the ][ brackets that just appeared, copy and paste everything from the youtube web address that appears after the = sign i.e if this is the url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2cNqaPSHv0 just copy "K2cNqaPSHv0").

They were quite suprised it came out too.. They did say it was likely to crack whilst being heated and bent back into shape, and end up being scrapped...
Lucky all round..

Looks like a lucky escape !
You seem to have found a quality company to do the work, thanks for the link
From the picture I would have thought it was beyond salvation...but then I know nothing about wheel repair.
The state of some roads is a national disgrace considering the money we all pay in taxes...

The best part is that this happened on one of the main roads in London, i hate to think how many more of these happened
