mickmck 716 Posted January 5, 2010 Report Share Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) what a fu#kin day ive had , set off this morning for a day out with the hawks all was going well , picked a couple o mates up , went to the garage filled up and away we went . my mate was driving and i was just about to ask him if he thought the jeep felt funny round corners . then bang ! just off a roundabout it started shakin like fu#k , we pulled in and checked the tyres thought it was a blow out , but it was worse . out of the six wheel nuts holding the wheel on five had sheered off and the fu#kin wheel was hanging off. earlier i took it out of four wheel driv and it made a bang . any way its in a lay by till i sort a tow truck out ! fu#kin gutted - recovered it yesterday !!!!!!!
