I thought George Michael was around, cause I did get a mighty bashing from the rear, but it turns out is was my own wheel hitting me at close to 70MPH :D

I'm feeling slightly retarded, cause I spent the whole day servicing my vehicle, got on the motorway, and marveling at how much extra power I had, I wound it up to 70MPH.

Felt a odd fishtailing, and the wheel was off. Got it stopped pretty quick, and looked in the mirror just in time to see a fast approaching wheel. It collected the rear offside corner, smashing a few lights, the bumperette, and denting the fender a bit... Just about got the wheel back on, tried to move the vehicle, and no gears. Also the brake drum is awol !

Now the wheels were sitting on spacers, have to have them with those axles, and I fitted the wheels late at night after a really long day with some help from Kris and Mark , so I'm hoping it's just that I totally forgot to tighten the one wheel and it's not something more ominious like the wheel spacer nuts are different to regular steel nuts and I somehow mixed them up :eek:

Anyway, I got home courtesy of the AA, and put all my kit into my MOD 90, which I also fitted the wheels too, so God and my Wheels willing, I'll see you tomorrow at South Mimms.

Now questioning the wisdom of running two vehicles when I am desperate to get one ready for an expidition....:rolleyes:

just been out with jamie did a few lanes hit harlington took bout 45mins to get through and my motor looked like i had been at whaddon when finished
 
Just got back from Camping in Tring at a comp. Bloody hell looking after JTV drivers is knackering! And I thought laying out and doing an RTV is hard work. Anyway I hope Ryder had Fun I think Kai did on the JTV course. I hope they went gently on you Ryder especially Andy, I know you got a slight re-model of your bodywork but nothing you would notice on any of our motors. CCV was great as always wish I could have seen more but was a nice overnight stay. On a plus note the roof tent worked a treat needs some sides to stop things falling off and the odd draft but otherwise very happy indeed with the weekend.

Sorry to hear that you have damaged you mota Booger. Hope you sort it asap No doubt some wise forum member will blame the spacers but I imagine you will never know the answer and will never know unless you actually torqued them up. Didnt you have problems taking your wheels off or was that somone else? Mabe that could have damaged or stretched the threads or whatever.
