    Driving into a high rise carpark yesterday, VERY narrow spiraling road into it, being careful, then scraaaaaaape, arghhhhhhh! Left rear wheel, almost can't look, curb rash all the way round. I must be getting old!

    Temple Bar car park, be warned its lethal getting into it. Had a look at the curb on the way out, ground to bits, God knows how much damage its done to peoples wheel.

    The wheel is now with Collins Engineering in Bray having heard good things about them.

    Will be ready tomorrow, €80.

    Tallaght hospital is the worst in my experience. And nevermind the kerb, the wall is covered in paint.

    The carpark beside Jury's Inn in Galway is pretty bad too. The walls on the ramps between levels look like a Jackson Pollock painting.

    Any pictures, before and after, of the wheel? I'd be curious to see them.

    I very lightly curbed one of my wheels lately, it's possibly the most painful thing a car enthusiast can experience!

    I had a Forester S turbo and a Mercedes C280 on both of which the tyres came out what looked like an inch over the rim - a very handy feature!

    Yeah the walls in the multi-storey must have every shade and colour ever seen on a car mashed together in there.

    Afraid not, curbed last nigh, refurbed today, strike while the ire is hot!

    I'll let you know how good a job the guys do.
