Good old Elvis, not everyone can lose a wheel at 60mph and still be right as rain* !
The above photo-story shows what happens when your wheelbolts come undone and then your wheel comes off! Fortunately MrsRoast kept control (as always ;) ) and managed to bring Elvis to heel at the roadside. The Police came. I arrived. The RAC arrived.
Wheel seen heading towards Derby at a terrifying velocity. (now located)
Thanks to everyone who helped (Mr Police x2, Mr RAC, Mr Flatbed)
Prizewinning idiot of the day (AND SHAME ON YOU - WHOEVER YOU ARE!!!) is the man who stopped and got out of his car and had a go at me because a) he was 30 mins late and b) because the RAC truck should have moved off the road! Without swearing I informed him that it was my wife who happened to be driving and that she wasn;t injured or dead and that Mr Police had instructed the Mr RAC to park there. What a speed-dobber. Maybe his 30 min delay would have been more worthwile to him if he had the satisfaction of knowing that someone was maimed or dead. Cock.
(*needs new wing/brake disc combo)
Firstly - Sam, we’re all glad to hear that you have nothing worrying to report, and that yr safe n’ well :) Thats deffo the main point of the day!
Secondly - I reckon a “Baldington Nobbet” award for shear browness has to go to the speed-dobber with the Audi. Deffo give him a much needed banana up the exhaust next time you clap eyes on his car dude ;)
Thirdly - Viva-la-Elvis… the king is most definately not dead.

Whoa, Sam glad you & Elvis are both safe and sound after a ‘itta ‘bitta rush hour stunt driving, well handled that girl :)
Who cares if a few trainee-acting-temporary-part-time-junior-executive carpet salesmen got held up, they can go whistle. Your allright, and thats all that counts.
