What else can happen?

The sister of one of our friends, Andi Stevenson, is visiting from St. Arnaud. She asked us to go to lunch with them at Glenrowan. Didn't take much arm twisting so 12 midday saw us at Glenrowan.
We delivered the November Tattlers en route.
On the way home, the ute didn't seem to be handling too well. Janette looked in the passenger side mirror and thought the left rear wheel was 'wobbly'. Then the ute did quite a wobble. On pulling over, we discovered that four of the six wheel nuts were gone and one of the two remaining was about to come off. I guess we were fortunate that number six was on tight.
I jacked up the left rear, 'borrowed' one wheel nut off each of the other wheels and put them on the problem wheel. That meant each wheel had five wheel nuts.
The only thing to do then was to get home. We managed that, albeit nervously.
We had the brakes 'done' two weeks ago and we suppose the nuts on that wheel weren't tightened properly(?).Leia mais
