I was driving down the motorway earlier today, when all of a sudden the steering wheel started vibrating, then there was a loud "BANG" and I lost all steering and braking!
I thought the axle had snapped off or something. So I kept the steering wheel as straight as I could, and let off the brake pedal to let the car roll to a stop.
I eased into a lay-by and got out to find my N/S front tyre had ripped clean off the alloy and the RR was driving on the actual alloy!
Luckily, apart from some light scuffing, it was fine, so I put it in the boot and fitted the 5th alloy (which luckily has a brand new tyre fitted to it!) and drove the final 50 miles home.
But wow, scary stuff!
