i once saw a corsa that was on 3 wheels, looked like the outside part of the drum had given up the ghost and fucked off. he was lucky though, it was right at the end of the M57 at the traffic lights, if it had happened afew minutes before he could have been doing 70+

Seem some idiots hanging off breaker bars on rear wheel bearings, wish I'd followed them now for a laugh, 200 yards down the road...

Mine happened at 70

I couldn't find the wheel for love nor money, it was about 500m up the road resting on the central reservation, was lucky it didn't bounce over to the other side of the road!

Had to do this to get my wheel back

wheel bearing failed and fucked the stub axle, wheel rolled off into the niddle of the road
