This reminds me of the day my friends wheel went past us .I to felt that little wobble ,And then the car sort of lifted up on the right hand side...I was driving .this was my job after he purchased this Sunbeam from me .Also any work on the car i was asked to do it . I knew it like my own hand. Well we had to deliver our club tote payment to our fishing club.And half way there this wheel went past .I knew it was from the Rapier just looking at the hub cap.I looked at Ron my friend ,he looked at me .To that i said its your wheel , he said no its not . He did just the same ,removed the wheel went in to have his tea never fitted all the othe nuts on the wheel. Came out put the hub cap on . Well it went down on the spring anchor on the nearside As i looked out the window it hit the curb and bounced up just missing an upstairs window of the house that was side on to us .On landing it fell on top of this scrap car parked close by. Put the jack under to lift it up .Only thing i could see was just a lottle part of the spring anchor worn down about 5 threads that was all .So lucky call ..lol
