If the steering wheel had come lose I think he may have panicked, because I'm sure there wasn't a flicker of a brake light... I was on the other side and had a clear image of a car plowing into the audience.

I had been nagging to go over that bit aswell because I hadn't been to the auto jumble... Could have been anyone. Bad day  :cry:

I am amazed he didn't hit the brakes. Years ago my steering column hadn't been fitted properly on my Classic Mini and it actually detatched as I was driving at about 40mph going round a bend. I have never been quicker on the brakes. It is a VERY scary thing to happen though.

I wish everyone involved a full recovery - my thoughts are with everyone involved.

Was such a bad way to end such a brilliant show, hope everyone has a speedy recovery!

My 2pence on the accident is that his steering wheel came off as people have been saying, but he was concentrating on trying to get it back on and didn't realise where he was going or what was happening, then realised too late. Just what i think happened?

The car disapeared pretty sharpish though??
