HOW very apt, that the customised Audi R8 with the gold wrap which was featured in The Bolton News on Thursday should be sitting right next to one of Bolton's famous features....a huge pot-hole.

Almost as long as the car itself, it lies there in all its nakedness, stone sets poking through where there was once tarmacadam and yellow lines. My eyes were naturally drawn away from the car as I began to daydream of the impending chaos and misery that will ensue for weeks on end whilst the powers that be close off this busy artery for repair with vehicles dodging through Sainsbury's car park and other unsuitable places to avoid the area. Welcome to Bolton — the Bottle Neck Centre of the North!
