thats cool the extra fat string!I doesn't look it but it's a 10mm bolt! It was very close to the side wall.

someone had snapped the bottom end of a spring and was on the road in a loop . i heard a ruddy great bang from back of van thought some kids had chucked a brick at it. on inspection the spring was in the sidewall; just like that a new tire as well 120 quid up the swanyAnother non repairable tyre!

I few years ago I saw a sheep jammed between the twin wheels of a aggregate truck rolling along the A4059 road near Penderyn. It was a nasty ending for the poor critter.A common one is bricks between the twin wheels on the back axle of tippers coming off demo sites.
i live next to a railway crossing and regularly see snapped wagon leaf springs on side of the road where they have bombed across at speedMy workshop drive slopes steeply (As does everything in Langtoft) and the main road at the bottom is the transition between a slight downhill section and a steep uphill. I wander over the grass before I mow it, picking up all the bolts, spring ends and suchlike that fall off things! some of the bolts are scary big and look VERY important!

Pfft... call that a repair?......
I was following a lorry on my bike and the brick between the rear tyres let go and flew over my head, luckily no one was behind me. I was following a scrap lorry in the car down the High Street once when the rear wheel locked up completely. I pulled into a bus bay to check and there was a piece of shear cut 3" angle iron about a foot long straight through the tyre and wedged against the boot floor.Bricks from building sites are far more common!
I remember a Fitter telling me when i was an apprentice how a brick came through his mates car windscreen he was travelling in, his daughter was standing between the front seats and it killed her, sickeningI was following a lorry on my bike and the brick between the rear tyres let go and flew over my head, luckily no one was behind me.
