Apparantly you can - takes months though.

Where was it?

There's a huge one on Northumberland. There are cars constantly on the side of the road.

In fact last night I was giving directions and said 'you'll see a few cars changing tyres on the side of the road ... just go straight'

When the guy arrived he was like 'htf did you know?'

What was damaged?

Rim scratched, like 5cm scratch. 1 front tyre needs to be replaced (less than a year old, like new), can't fixed.

So I need to repair rim and replace two front tyres.

Cool. Any thread to go along with those?

No, that is the Cross Polo that came to grief up on the Berea in Durban last year.

We are still trying to get rid of Mike Sutcliffe over that one!! :D

Only:
1. Iif you can prove the council knew about it.
2. Prove that you actually drove into it (dark area, photo/quote etc).
