Bugger!

I was at the servo this morning getting some fuel for the new beast when i thought I'd check the tires. Being new its good to give a car a good once over so you can find anything wrong. Anyway after tearing the hubcap off I noticed a nut fell out. The nut had a thread in it. I looked up and saw that 2 wheel nuts had sheared off the hub! Holy shit! I laughed a bit and drove hope a little more carefully than one normally would. I changed cars and went to work :) I didnt get home early enough to get the wheel off and see how much of the hub I'd have to take apart to get at the wheel stud, so should get there tommorrow. All going well as Dad suggested I might be able to use some of the 120Y studs out of the spare struts I have under the house :)
Damn those tires and rims look dirty. Have to clean them up after I finish with the 1200 struts :)
