I hurt my 430

Yesterday I hit a pothole at 74MPH. Blew out the left front tire and bent my rim

Sorry to hear that. Just realize it could have been much worse. Like hitting a pothole, loosing control and hitting a tree for instance.

It hurts to see that! But on the other hand you are lucky that 'only' the tire and rim are damaged. It could have ended much worse...

In the first Picture your Mechanic with the MG looks like he is already using a Calculator...

No, that is Tom. Picking me up 1.5 hours away in his custom V8 MGB. That was very nice of him

Always sad to see a Ferrari on a towtruck (though not uncommon ). But this damage can be fixed easily.

Good luck!

I do like Tom's MGB He did it right replaced all the wiring and added a V8
Had MG made that change in the 70s they may still be around.
Nice touch the tow Truck Dedicated to Ferrari and Maserati ....

That is why I scrambled off the highway after my blowout. Most highways have tow deals with stupid companies.

This guy was very knowledgeable, and had the car on there in no time.
