cr@pped myself (almost)

 

doing 70 in the fast lane m23, pi$$ing with rain, loads of surface water ect

 

picture the scene, white shirt, tie, black shoes and trousers changing a wheel on the hard shoulder with lorries shooting past in the pissing rain :rolleyes:

Couldn't get the wheel off so thought i'd bash the cr@p out of it with a canon hot roller (it's all i could find:innocent: ) till it fell off..

 

 

3 police patrols passed me, didn't stop to help, or at least flash there lights to warn cars/lorries :(

 

 

 

what a day :blink:

d a ? n.

 

unlucky guy.

 

i remember when something similar happened to me on the m1 /m6 at about midnight.

 

in my m3 with 2 mates going up to visit a friend in worcester.

 

chucking it down and windy as a mother f.;)

 

wheel nut's were screwed on very tight, and dont know if you have ever seen the locking wheel nuts on an m3, i tell u they are very fragile. let alone the shiite wheel brace. lol

 

yeah no 1 bothered 2 stop, not even the police

i had a blow out in the works van a few weeks ago on the m4. got onto the hard shoulder and went to change it but the traffic going past made me see sense. phoned the police and a patrol car was out within 20 mins parked 50 yards up the m4 with lights flashing getting the traffic to pull into the outside lane wen passing.

been there and isn'tit always the case that it's the wheel nearest the traffic!

 

Sorry to hear your woes Jon and I do hope you will get that whellbarrow look off the car in the near future! I also hope that if there was any deep thread on the tyre it is repairable. Often with low profiles you don't notice a flat when you are going straight. I've managed to bugger up the tyre walls on a couple of gooduns making repair impossible!

 

All the best mate.
