My nuts!

[Dom]

Got a funny story!

 

Just finished doin the brakes on my crapi and i've figured I need a bigger master cylinder since i've only got a small single circuit one fitted and am now running 4 pots upfront. So off I go to the car shop to order one and whilst going round a roundabout (A1 Blackcat) my rear left wheel fell off!!

 

Looks like I got away with it, although my the threads are ripped out of my nuts and my U bolts are a little shorter

[bomber1]

easy done m8 at least u the car are ok and no one else involved

[flyingbanana]

you sort of lucky considering how busy that roundabout it,and no one crashing into you

[Dom]

Some coppers turned up and thought I was changing the wheel! I was like 'no it fell off'.

 

Twas funny because as I ground to a halt my slot mag bounched past spinning, crossed both lanes of the carriageway and rolled down the centre reservation. It even stopped standing upright

[flyingbanana]

were you by any chance booting it around it.....esp has its a large roundabout

[Arched Escy]

Did you run after the wheel?

Amazingly for once I wasn't! I think a couple of the wheel nuts were abit dodgey and vibrating a tad, the studs had stripped most of the threads off em anyways. As I first got onto the roundabout it slid slighty and I though (whoa! i'm not even booting it) then it went clunk, ding, crrrrssshhhhhh, bollox. I've only just fitted new brakes so I was being cautious.

 

Nah I didn't run after it just watched it roll away going oooooo and ahhhhhhh evertime a car went past it
