Luck/unluck on my side

Post by Al the mod »

Hey so I get in the car this morning with my daughter who's 3 driving to my da's in crumlin from Lucan. Get to crumlin road an notice a knockin noise like a cv joint gone as my da's house is two sec from the crumlin road I said il continue drivin and check it in my da's get there take my daughter out of the car and ask my da to cone round the block and listen to the noise get to sec from me da's go to turn left and the wheel falls off snappin all hub nuts and damaging the hub then I check the rest of the wheels and yep they've been lossend to except each lock nut for obvious reasons. As I haven had the wheels off any time recently and am confident they where tight I wrecken someone loosened them got the fright if my life as I had been travellin at 80kph on the n4 with my daughter in the car moments before could have killed us. Ok if one was loose I'd say yeah could have worked it's way loose but all of them bit suspisous. More f*****g money to spent now because of vandles only got it fixed from the attempt robbing of my car. Had enough
