.......................was what you would have heard me yell if you were on the Ring Rd this morning....WHY you may ask? Well I was driving along doing 80ks an hour and all of a sudden............................
.......................................................
........................................................................
.................................
I hear wop wop wop very loud coming from the rear of my car......there is NOWHERE to pull over on the Ring Rd at the moment....very scary.....finally see a little bit of a spot to get far enough off the road to stop....oh yeah and its PEAK HOUR you know 8.30ish am.......go to get out to check......not doing that...barely enough room to miss the car let alone me......arhhhhhh finally manage to have a sneak peek....can't see anything and dare not step into to road to see tire on left back properly....only thing for it.....continue to drive slowly to work.....well okay..........hazard lights on doing 40km/h....totally annoying anybody else on the road....yeah right....praying like anything.....managed to pull off in a bigger area but the sudden thought comes to me..............I have about 10kms left to work or I can wait at least an hour before anybody could rescue me from home......so more praying....and off we go....hazard light on 40km's.....finally get to the Keilor Park Drive exit....up the hill.....into Slater Parade....into Williams Avenue and.......stop!! I'm so very pleased that we made it.....the guy next door looks at the car and studies the wheel....steps away in shock......out of 5 studs that hold the entire wheel on.....there are 2....yes only 2......okay well that's cool...it stayed on and I believe that praying kept it that (well God did anyway).....so my lovely son Daniel races up to Murchison grabs 5 bolts, travels all the way back down to Keilor East to take the wheel off and replace the bolts.....yes he is shocked to as the 2 bolts left are loose......OH MY GOSH.....thank you I'm safe, my car is in one piece AND we didn't hurt anybody else either......scary....much....
