« on: 25 June 2013, 22:56 »
Was havin a blast earlier and then I heard a knocking noise... So slowed right down and it was still there quite bad, so I pulled over as I didn't think I could even creep back and walked around the car to find......

BOTH front wheels were loose  :sick: :laugh:

Haven't had them off in 2 months!!!!!
