I can think of a million lines here.... and here i was thinking my roll baby roll was going to get the gags for a while...........

You win....

I'm with Chris - that would have been priceless - I wouldn'tve known whether to laugh more at the wheel heading down the road or you chasing it .......

I can see the next Mastercard ad now.....

Set of Wheel Nuts - $40
New Wheel Brace - $15
Not doing the wheel nuts up........PRICELESS



Sorry GRNKPR had to be done, when I read your first post about this I thought nah the wheel didnt come off did it.....yep. You have now joined an elite club where a few Beers n Laughs can be had about the one that got away....... at least there was no major damage caused and you were able to 'limp' home. You'll have to fix this before you go away or may miss out on the 6 Hour!!

Oh dear!!!!!! Reminds me of a certain rip to Bathurst when the trailer wheel decided to overtake a certain car . Lucky Craig Lowndes wasn't driving near you on the day. Might have collected the wheel for you GRNKPR. Seems you need something to remind you to tighten up your nuts !!!!

Geez... and the caption for the 2nd Bean movie was "disaster has a passport" - maybe you should be called that in more ways than one .....

firstly, thanks to all who came along.
was good to see a few different things that we dont normally see.
just a shame that we didnt have as many people come along as we thought there'd be...
my little ute didnt know what had hit it, seeing as it was its first time out since Feb 06.
now that its on the road again, i have to try and use it more, but when the GT is finished, i guess it'll get used less and less again... :
