<< < (2/2)

Vam:
Mine was the blow out On the M1, doing 65, center lane, over taking.

It was the husband who had the brown trouser moment, when he saw the outer part of the trye over take us, the we over took it! :twisted:

I was fine till I got out and saw what wasn't left of the tyre  :shock:

Vam:
Taking of no brakes, spoke to a couple who after early retirement went teaching in various places such as Peru and Africa.

Got talking Landys (as you do  :lol: ) and they told me when they were in Africa the only transport was a couple of landrovers... none of which had any brakes, so they had to use trees and ditches to 'stop'.

There where regular 'stopping' points at most places, and it was the most fun they ever had driving! Went away with real grins on their faces

This couple where in there late 60's early 70's and were dead cool!

I used to have a wire wheeled MG Midget.  rebuilt the back axle in an evening (and night) on the way home at about 4:30 am in central cambridgea rear wheel overtooke at about 40 mph.  The spinners are handed and I put the halfshafts and spinners back the wrong way wround, it was getting late, and the heels undid themselves as I drove.

At least I can't do that in the Land Rover, no wire wheels, oh and those unequal half shafts!

MTyrrell:
mine has to be a sideways skin on the M6 in a LWB Mercedes Sprinter van.
 Someone didn't see a crash in the inside lane until last minuet and decided they’d try there luck with my van instead of plowing in to the accident ahead. They swerved in front of me and slamed there breaks on. Soon as I piled on the breaks, in the wet, I lost the back end. The only damage was to my underwear and the break pedal as I tried to push it through the floor!

I had a nerves passenger with me, i have never herd a grown man scream the way he did :twisted:
