As some of you know my parents live in the south of France. Dad has a really old landrover discovery that he uses to tow his caravan. He wanted to get a newer one and as the second hand car market is practically none existent where they live he decided to come and buy one in England and drive it back. He bought a 2000 discovery with about 35k miles on it, really good condition. It was a trade advert but you know the type - not a garage, a farmer and his sons who sell cars as a bit of a sideline. Anyway, they are obviously not that very good at it because just as Dad was whizzing down the french autoroute near paris his back wheel fell off! He felt a strange feeling and slowed down to 50mph and then the wheel just came off. Over a grands worth of damage but lucky to be alive i reckon! He's not very happy though...............
