...decided to suprise me with an early christmas present yesterday afternoon whilst driving to work...
The lower ball joint snapped and sent me skidding across the road which was an experiance had to wait 3 hours for it to be recovered, and at half 3 in the school rush I caused some amazing traffic  luckily I was with someone who had aa cover and we used that, think I may be investing in aa or rac cover in the future.
got away luckily really hasnt doen any major bodywork damage, didnt crease the wing but the side skirt will need a touch up.

I had to avoid a head on the other week and mounted a curb which put a gash in my tyre and thats all i could see wrong but im guessing it fractured the ball joint and it finally gave in
