    Mmm that's not normal..at least gyroscopic effect would have helped to keep the car going forwards..

    But if you want a worse out come the wheel could have folded under the wheel arch and flipped the car into a barrel roll

    Glad your OK.

    Really glad you're both OK Frankie, but the wheel must have been close to coming completely free from the car. Hope it's not a too major fix.

    Pleased to hear that, and I presume you're going with the correct bolt this time! Hopefully, that'll be an end to the recent troubles that you've had.
