My old series landy was in for some welding and a few bits and pieces doing (excellent job done)

However one fairly important bit was omitted. The wheel nuts weren’t tightened up fully.

It’s an experience losing a front wheel especially driving in the dark.

On the positive it’s an old landy so doesn’t go fast. I am lucky I kept it in a relatively straight line (see the marks on the road). Also the nuts on the other front wheel were v loose, so lucky I didn’t lose both wheels. I could well be in hospital instead of visiting my family over Christmas.

Lesson learnt – ‘avoid driving in the dark with a wheel missing !!!’
